hey would anyone know why my 8 month old IRN attacks and costantly chews on my clothes she also gets agressive towards me when this occurs ..??

can anybody help me so i can stop this bad habbit ?

thanks jamie

While Charlie Parker isn't aggressive he does like to eat clothes. A lot. Anything with buttons, zips, a hanging thread, tag, or little hole is an invitation to destroy. It was a losing battle trying to train him not to chew, plus it's so damn cute when he climbs inside my shirt or into my pockets, so I throw on old jeans & shirts for playtime and keep an old hand towel around to put over my shoulders and tuck inside my collar when I have a good shirt on. It also helps to distract him with a strip of paper to shred, although the confetti always ends up down my back.

Is it any particular color of clothes or all of them? One of my aviary irns (Grey male) comes over to me when I have a black shirt on and tries to pull my shirt off, he looks me up and down and then decides to lift the sleeve up and see if I have anything hiding up my arm. But he only comes to me if I have a black shirt on.

it is all of my clothes and she isnt normally agressive to me it is only when i try to stop her from chewing on my clothes lol

my 3 chew on anything their toys my fingers hair photo frames seem to be riku favourite
i dont know why they do it but i try to give them alot of other things they can chew on try keeping a toy on you & distracting him with it when e chews and give him a treat when he chews that instead of you

Amazon chews on clothes and things he isnt aloud to, i just tap his beak and say no chewing, he knows what he is aloud to chew and not, but i will not aloud the chewing on clothes he has unstitched a good shirt before. Try adn use a word he will learn as a no word, my one is uhhhh NO AMI and he gets the message sometimes i have to use his full name Amazonite and he turns round and says why but gets the message
