is it necessary to have someone trim my parrots nails. can some kind of perches really help to file a parrot's nails? don't want to do anything that could hurt him or cause him to withdraw anymore than he already does.

he won't eat cuttlebone. would a calcium perch be good for him?

parrot started to fly about three weeks ago. is there a way to stop him from landing on my head or to get him to land on certain surfaces?
can he be taught to fly back to me?

Forum changed. Taming is not going well. he's still biting hard but not drawing blood everytime he bites. started climbing all over me and poking holes in my clothes. how do i stop him without him getting hurt? have to lure him off me or back into cage with food. so it's okay that he doesn't want to...

is it necessary to cover the cage at night? for the last couple of weeks he doesn't seem to like his cage to be covered. he keeps climbing across the sides of the cage. he doesn't play with the toys hanging in his cage and still won't go to the bottom of the cage. is he supposed to play when he's al...

Did you try blowing on him when he bites? It worked with Boomer. Boomer drew blood as well and it killed. I didn't know what to do to stop it. This was a month ago and it took three days to stop when I started blowing on him. When you see him go down for that bite instantly blow on him. You will so...

hello....if his bitting when you are trying to get him off you hand (remember they use their beak as a third limb) the best thing to do, instead of placing him down what you want to do is make him step up. Go ahead and place a prech (pencil or longer stick works good) at his chest level and he will...

everyone thinks that the biting in temporary? any ideas on when it might stop?

how do i get him to step off of my hands? he's biting more when i try to put him down on any other surface or return him to his play area.

how do i stop him from attacking me? don't want to hurt him and can't ignore his bites. read that he should be handled everyday but how since he's drawing blood as soon as he sits on my hands now. can cover my arms but not my hands. think that gloves would scare him. he sometimes moves the sleeves u...

can you give us some more information? ;like, how old is he, how long have you had him? is it a boy or girl? what is your daily routine as far as spending time with him? does he have enough toys and stimulation? was he nice and just recently started biting like this? its hard to evaluate his/her be...

my parrot's behaviour sounds like the bluffing stage described in the article on the main site. but he is always drawing blood and would not let go. got him about a month ago and he used to bite but not nearly as severe. the last two days his bites have gotten more vicious and can't be ignored. can'...
