I have had Nala for about 6 months or so. She is such a crabby beetch I can hardly work with her! I have to use a glove to get her out of her cage, (she bites the hand!) but as soon as she sees me even pick up the glove, she jumps to the floor of her cage and is ready to come out! She bites the glove but will come out.
Problem is that she BITES so hard!!
Once she is out of her cage, she is usually pretty good, but she runs to my shoulder of I'm not quick enouth to stop her. Then it is a beetch to get her off!!
She lunges at me whenever I come near her cage and she's taken a chunk out of my arm when I changed out her food and water one time!
She gets out of cage time with the other fids, and I know I should work with her to tame her down, but it is soooo hard when she BITES!! And that big red beak can do some major damage!!
Any help would be appreciated.
I just took it at her pace. I didn't force myself on her. I would sit and talk with her very softly. Food did not work with Ms. Byndi. She'd rather bite than deal with food. Even to this day she'll lunge at any type of food that we try to give her. And she'll have this MEAN, MEAN look on her face, like how dare we put that in her face. Just be patient. Don't stop interacting with Nala. Cuz if you do she will never tame down. As a matter of fact here is a picture of what Ms. Byndi did to me just a week ago. And when I took the picture the bite was a week old... So I know just what you're going thru!
