He's been lovely; he chirps, lets us scratch/pet him, and sits happily on top of shoulders. (although there was one phase of biting which we endured.) Iggy's out of his cage nearly all the time, with the exception being night/bed time, and he's very happy out. We do also give him the option of going back.
Anyway, recently another (worse) biting phase has started, and he's learnt to be quick. Every time we catch him biting something he can't (like a TV remote, book pages, PC screen etc.) we tug the object away from him and often move him to his little bird 'playground/gym'. Very quickly, he'll fly back and the process repeats all over. Now, Iggy's become quite wary of hands. He runs or flies away when I try to pick him up, or he lunges and bites very hard, enough to make you bleed, and he won't let go. He doesn't give much of a warning apart from his pupils shrinking. Though he accepts food and treats calmly and still feels comfortable on people's shoulders. He only seems to react to hands whether they're flat or raised. Except for me, whole family has become afraid of him.
Have I damaged our relationship permanently? Will I be able to get the old Iggy back? Please help!
