Yes; great advice. It's easy to forget that biting, along with all other interactive behaviours (good and bad) is about communiction. So working out what they are trying to communicate is important. Then, just like with kids, we have to teach our parrots the right way to communicate their needs. But we also have the responsibility to make sure we're listening. Hope everyone had a wonderful Xmas day and enjoyed time with family and friends. Our birds were delighted with a little Xmas turkey and roast pumpkin, along with a nibble of Xmas pudding for dessert.
It is all about communication - yes! Shifting thinking from- they are trying to hurt me- to - they are trying to communicate or express something- - that changes everything:) and taps us into that connection. I agree, kids are similar. Sweet, wonderful Christmas here with our feathers 😀
Always enjoy your videos. In the case of biting, I have found that giving them the opportunity to say no to me has made my blueheaded pionus much more relaxed and patient with me. For noise, I can give my bird something fun to eat if I sense that my bird is getting antsy.
That’s a good idea to offer them a choice instead of just expecting compliance. I love it! Offering understanding is key - Thank you for watching and commenting - I totally appreciate it!
@@davidsavage6227 lol thats cute, its my dream to have a macaw or Cockatoo but I’m in no position to have one at this point of my life. I would have to rescue and then I’m allergic to birds sadly. Right now i have three kids and three dogs so if i ever do get a parrot it wont be for another 10 years
Hello your video popped up at the perfect time today! I was wondering after my baby male budgie struck me while resting in his cage“what went wrong”? I watched the other video you mentioned in the beginning, and I determined I need to spend more time with him.(as well as leave him be to sleep 😂) If he sees his cage he flies back, do you suggest I play with him solo? His cage mate seems to be more adventurous than him
Merry Christmas 🦜

@@amg4897 Oh yes, most definitely. My intuitive blueheaded Pionus parrot is very good at reading my body language and sounds.
