Hi, all!!
This is Angela in Ches., VA. My IRN is Squeak and he has a ring now! My problem is that when he is out of his cage and sits on my arm, he likes to pinch my arm. He is not biting; just pinching me and he does it continuely even after I have said No.

Why does he do this?
How can I stop him from doing this?

Thanx for your help.

Eachtime he does it, lower your arm and firmly say no. Birds hate when we lower our arm and make them catch themself or be distacted. After a few times, he'll stop.

You dont have to do it so fast it freaks him out, just enough to get his attention.

Let us know how he does. :D
