Re: He's biting?

Hey MissK
no no I didn't take it any wrong way. Sorry about not wording it properly I understand the risks involved as he could hurt me, but all he does is put his beak close to my neck and fall asleep. I value your opinions though thank you :D

Re: He's biting?

When he bites I don't pull away and scream I've read it encourages them, I will do what you said, the only thing is he climbs all the way onto my shoulder so I don't know if I should keep taking him down then?
