Re: New IRN owner, Need help really badly :(
Maybe some more out of cage time, if thats possible for you. Or a bigger cage. So that he can stretch his wings.
Above you will see Donovan said its a fine size but make sure he is out of that cage as much as possible. So it shows that size is not good for the bird to stay in most of the time.

Birds are very switched on to body language. You can't blame a bird for biting you if you don't see the signs - "he's had enough scratches" for example. This only comes with experience and trial and error, expect a few bites along the way. Sometimes though, especially as you're not the in...
