My grandma got a conure from a friend that couldn't keep it maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I go up there to help her with her own stuff, so poor Charlie wasn't getting anything he needed at all. He's never been out of his cage, she didn't interact with him. I was finally able to convince her and my parents to let me bring him home. He's pretty aggressive but I'm guna go to the local pet store in a couple days and see if someone can come out to my house and assess our situation. I'm lost unfortunately. I know it's guna be a long road, I just Wana make sure I'm going in the right direction. I really appreciate these videos! Thank you so much!
this was one month ago, any update? hope you’re doing well
@@sarahbasha8066 well i haven't really been able to find anyone that knows enough about him to actually come see him. An old coworker of mine who's mom had parrots came over and we did a few things to maybe get him out his cage but he wasn't down. I guess he's shy which I didn't realize since he's been up at my grandma's where she's really the only one ever there. Next time we're just guna do a video call and she's just guna walk me thru it. I've been to a couple pet stores. I live in a pretty small town so I've been to the one here which wasn't super helpful unfortunately then there's a store strictly for parrots about 40 min south of me and I did go there also. They said I'm doing everything I can and just to be patient. He's still pretty aggressive but that could just be cage aggression. Like I said he still won't come out of his cage. He does seem happy tho. He's not picking his feathers or having any other real adverse reactions. Thanks for asking!
Just keep your hand in the cage slowly start touching him one day he’ll just hop up on your finger inside the cage mine had the same exact situation he would get scared when I would pass the cage just by walking by it I just slowly let him get used to the environment started feeding him through the cage and gaining his trust I can now pick him up on my finger inside the cage and move him small distances don’t forget time is your friend in this situation
@@SomeOne-zw6kh just try to keep him out of his cage n keep tryna handle him in a gentle and confident manner. Display your hand slowly and most importantly with confidence if they see you being gentle and purposeful it will get them to lighten up over time these methods have worked worked with every conure I’ve had I’ve owned 3 and baby sat my girls blue crowned for a month he actually ended up imprinting on me and ended up disliking her even after her owning him for 2’years honestly think she was neglecting him hence why I asked to look after him for a few I wanted him to get a taste of the good life he’s since passed but today I actually picked up a green cheeked conure whom of which is 4 months old and he just can’t seem to leave me alone every time he seems tired or hungry I put him on his cage and he always flys immediately on me also if I leave the room he starts crying when usually he barley makes a peep other than happy birb noises I’m sorry for this being so long but I wanted to share my love for these birds along with some advice so I hoped this helped 🐦
Try' birdtricks' youtube videos as well, which may help you by clicker training and a food reward your bird to touch a chopstick.This teaches your parrot o interact positively with you.
My bird sits on my head 24/7 and still bites me
We got our GCC as a weaned baby . The breeder had clipped her wings but we let them grow out and she is free to fly about the inside of our home. I’m home all the time and she participates in everything we do. I’ve commented before that she will nip at my hands and arms when I use any implement from a brushing my hair to mopping the floor. I can understand why she might hate scissors since her wings were clipped, but I’m baffled about everything else. I’ve been giving her time to explore the objects and that has helped a bit, but not always. I thought there might be something instinctive that she’s reacting to, but I haven’t heard any other GCC parents mention this type of issue. She can be involved in something across the room and fly over to try and stop me if I’m writing with a pencil, using a screwdriver, sweeping , etc.
Excellent!!!
TOO GOOD AND VERY A HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS TO HANDLE BIRDS
Thank you!☺️🙏🏼🙌🏼
Omgoodness, I love ❤️ your advice SO BAD!!!! My bird actually changed her own name.....I am following you to the T!!!! Tytyty
I recently got a sun conure named Apollo and he’s becoming my best Buddy! Your videos have been super helpful!!! Thank you! ❤
Aw💛 welcome home sweet Apollo! I’m glad the videos are helpful😀 I also have a podcast you can feel free to check out 🥰
I've had my pineapple conure for 9 years since I was hand feeding him, but he has always been a cranky little stinker from the start. This video is going to help me SO MUCH though, because I never really quite knew how to discourage and prevent his aggressive behavior, and I really didn't know yelling just makes it worse. But after seeing this I will try to start feeding him better since he is mainly on a seed diet. I've always thought about getting him a friend because I feel like it would make him happier, but then I'd have double the mess and double the noise in my room.
I’m glad that this video has helped you! Yelling does make it worse and all seed diet doesn’t help. Variety of healthy foods is so important in their diet. Getting a friend isn’t always the solution especially if you’re not ready for it. I would encourage you to first watch more videos, do more research, learn body language and work on diet conversion as well! I also host a podcast that is helpful called The Parrot Podcast 😀

Thank you for the great video and looking Forward to seeing more! I'm going in my 3rd week with my first bird, a black capped conure, Rubie Raine.
You’re welcome! We have lots of videos feel free to browse through our videos and podcast episodes 🤩 @theparrotpodcast all the best!
My baby conure is never aggresive. The only times he bites gently is when im paying attention to my budgies. Its amazing to see
Grazie per il video! Molto interessante!!
😀☺️💖💥
Thats not normal for a parrot to be upset about change. In the wild, they go through change a lot. That is why it is important to *not* have a routine. I really disagree. They have to learn to adapt to their surrounding. Its survival.
Utterly love your videos. 🖤 Always so informative. I have a Sun Conure and an Indian Ringneck. My IRN is aggressive at the moment. (Bluffing stage) I do all of these all the time. My sun is the biggest sweetie but my IRN is a little devil and I hand raised him. 🤦🏻♀️ Hopefully he will come around and stop with being a butt head. 🤣
Aww thank you!!🙏🏼😊💛 ✨ Each bird has their own personality, quirks, likes & dislikes. Mango and Mia are also quite different, Mango is such a sweetie too! Mia has her naughty moments 🙊 but these tips have helped us 😊🦜 I hope your IRN comes around too #nobuttheadsplease haha I bet when he's a butt head you bud heads... LOL 😃 I had to!
Recently saved a conure from a home where because of her noise was put into a dark bedroom for I don’t know how long. They say she is 9 months old. We have had her only a month and I have already more vibrant Color in her feathers. I have named her hope. In just a month she is already starting to say a few words, as well as scream when in a room alone. Is there anything I can do with her to help her trust me enough to be held without gloves on. We love her so much and have no intentions on ever re home ing her
My cockatiel Pete will not return to his cage even using treats for recall. Therefore I put my hand on his back when he is on my hand to return him to his cage. Is that a bad thing? He likes to come out but doesn’t like to go back. It’s a perfectly good cage with lots of toys and good healthy food. He’s always been this way. He’s now 6 months. Thanks for your helpful videos
Your bird is still young at 6 months I consider that a baby! You have lots of opportunity to train your bird at such a young age and develop lots of positive behaviours. Have you seen my video on ways to get your bird in the cage? > th-cam.com/video/Qqlx4aE4KUk/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps! Mia loves being in my hand - as you can probably tell in lots of videos 😅 but the hand over back is one way you can certainly use to put them in their cage.
What about if my 5 month old bird bites when I try to get him off my shoulder on to my hand or when I try to pull my clothing away that he’s trying to chew on?
My parrot used to barely bite, but now the second I take him out of his cage and he's just on my finger and I'm not doing anything he's biting like there's no tomorrow, my fingers are all red because of him😭 and I don't know why he is biting as much as he is
There is no environment change, we feed him veggies, fruit and seeds, he has toys, and he is let out of his cage every day for a few hours, idk why he results in only biting.
Do you have any suggestions for birds who have come to dislike hands from abuse from previous owner? One of my pineapple girls loves me and always wants to sit on me and do tricks for me to clap for her but as soon as my hand comes near her in any way shape or form (even is she’s happy on my shoulder and I touch my face for any reason) she attacks them with such anger as she was abused and actually has come a very long way with me but I just cannot shake the hand issue no matter what I’ve had her 2 years now. I also have a new baby Caique and she is so protective of him she won’t let me touch him if they are both sitting on me.
It's not uncommon for birds to fear or dislike hands if they have experienced abuse or neglect from a previous owner. If your bird is exhibiting such behaviour, it's important to be patient and work on rebuilding trust with your feathered friend. Start by sitting near their cage and talking calmly. Offer treats through the bars, then try putting your hand on the cage while offering treats. Gradually work up to offering treats from your hand, and use positive reinforcement to reward good behaviour. Remember to be patient and consistent, and respect your bird's boundaries 💕
have order a loot of toys +6 and think she will love it and only play with one toy of 2, only issue I have is she need more toys.
her play style is like slick and bite and jumpfrom my hand to shoulder and back whole time but does not hurt me, when she get enoyed she bite or yalling
Toys, enrichment and foraging opportunities do help to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. We want to keep their beaks busy, some toys they will like more than others, I have a lot of success with the toys from planetpleasures.com I also have a video on different places to shop worldwide th-cam.com/video/T2Jo1I5XVPw/w-d-xo.html cheers
I'm watching this as my bird is chewing on my Thum
I am retired stay home much of the time, my 7 month sun conure will scream every time I get up to go to a different room, he will scream until I come back and sit down. I tired to delay coming back, but that is not working, help 😮
My bird has decided my daughter is enemy #1, Im not sure what happened to cause this. My conure is 10yrs old and is not abused or has ever experienced trauma that i am aware of. Should i have the two of them try to interact without me around?
A wonderful video, but does not solve my concern. Sunshine and I have had a marvelous relationship for 10 years. Lately, he has started biting me, and viciously, for no APPARENT reason. I do not show fear with him, always talk in soft tones, always ask before I give him a "tickle tickle" as sometimes he does not want that. I am taking him asap (damn New Years on a Monday) to a vet clinic an hour away that specializes in exotics (as opposed to cats and dogs only). I have been trying to restore the trust between us, but within ten minutes, he lashes out. My hands, ears, even lips and other areas are a sight. I fear he has a disease causing this behavior or he no longer trusts me. In either case, I will be losing him to a new family or something worse.

Thank you for your video❤ what kind of hand gestures may be considered threatening to birds? My bird really hate my hand/finger. They like hanging out on my shoulder sometimes on my forearm. If i move my finger/hand closer to them, One of them fly away the other bite my finger HARD.
Hand gestures that are fast, forceful or aggressive in anyway can cause your bird to feel frightened and/or threatened. Aggressive hand gestures tend to be more tense than excited, pointing, fists,
waving your arms etc. If they have ever experienced an aggressive hand gesture from you they may view it as a threat. Work on training and bonding with your birds 😊 I have a video on bonding tips too!

I need help my parrot mean and likes to bite plus he doesn’t have one leg I thought him how to dance nd he knows how to whistle but I never take him out how can I work with him he always scream he just likes me and not my family
What should i do when my bird is on my hand and it randomly bites *reallyhard* withought me doing anything IDK WHAT TO DO
We just got a pyrrhura parrot, he was hand fed. He doesn’t leave us. He follows you from room to room…but he is constantly biting everything he sees. We feed him well but still…he bites our hands and necks…I think when he sees bare skin he just wants to bite……I don’t know what is it
I'm watching this because our 7 month old Quaker parrot is very bitey. She even runs at me with her mouth open to bite . I hope this video has some good tips. Fingers crossed. Gonna watch it now.
If you have a Quaker I also recommend ep.18 of the parrot podcast because Quakers are known to be a bit bitey but it does take some research and work or a consult with a bird behaviourist to figure out the root cause th-cam.com/video/Pqh0gXtZtLM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bILISDD5NufSDdPo
My Conure grandbird bites when it's time for Grandma, that's me, to leave. He knows we're all trying to get him off of me so I can go. He is exactly like the toddler that doesn't want Grandma to llesvr. I love that big heart in a little body.
I've had my lovebird for about 4 months and she still bites my fingers or any skin she can get to
My jenday conure bites me very hard every time my sister or niece get near me.. He never bites me when it’s just the 2 of us hanging out.. I understand birds can be territorial but I don’t understand why he attacks me when he sees them walk by or approach me.. My conure gets puffy and will direct his attention to them but he will bite me, I don’t know it’s weird..
It's possible that your jenday conure is exhibiting territorial behaviour when your sister or niece are around. Conures can be very protective of their owners and their territory, and may bite or act aggressively towards anyone they perceive as a threat. It's also important to provide your conure with a safe space where it can retreat when it feels threatened or overwhelmed. I would recommend training - target training and working on socialization. In addition, you may want to consider consulting with a veterinarian or a bird behaviourist who can provide further guidance on how to address your conure's territorial behaviour. They can help you understand the underlying causes of the behaviour and provide recommendations for training and behaviour modification.

Hi I have a sun conure he was 6 weeks old when I got him he has bonded with my son and I if someone else in my family try to get close to me he tries to attack that other person but if he can’t to attack that other person he he attacks me. What can I do about that. How can I redirect him to stop that behavior.
It seems like your sun conure has developed a strong bond with you and your son, leading to territorial and protective behaviour. To address this, you can gradually introduce the bird to other family members in a controlled manner. Encourage positive interactions by having those individuals offer treats or engage in activities with the bird. Reinforce positive behaviour with rewards and discourage aggressive behaviour by withholding attention when it occurs. Consistent training, socialization, and patience will help redirect your sun conure's behaviour and encourage a more inclusive environment. If you continue to struggle with the biting you might want to consider a consult with a bird behaviourist to help!
I got a sun conure last week, and she is around 7-8 months. Sometimes when I put my hands on her cage, she will put my fingers in her mouth and squeeze them tightly, while other times she’ll squeeze softly. Is this biting or beaking? She never draws blood, she just squeezes really tightly with her beak.
And if it is just beaking, will it get better, and will my bird eventually trust me? She is fed everyday, and given fresh water, and I leave her cage open in case she wants to come out on her own. (I do close it when I leave the room though.)
What if the bird is aggressively stealing things from you and full on attacking (flying at you, biting to the point of drawing blood) where the only choice is to restrain until it calms down enough to avoid being seriously injured. I need a better solution because I know this action stresses him out but he calms if I stroke the top of his head and talk gently. I feel perhaps doing that was what made it worse, cuddling him after. My intent was to calm him down, I’m guessing he now feels if he bites hard enough I’ll do it again? 😓 Learning the hard way then, can I undo this? The behaviour keeps happening though. He has a playroom which is his territory but leaving it regardless of his mood is difficult- if Im holding something he wants he follows and won’t stop attacking till he either gets it (due usually to nipped fingers) or a towel is thrown on him. He’s faster than me. Is there anything better we can do?
I suspect he has this behaviour from when he was still young fighting to survive. We are trying to teach him he is safe, that we don’t want his food and he won’t go hungry anymore.
This bird was abandoned by its parents, attacked by its family so it cannot be socialised with other birds. I care about this animal, I don’t want to see him put down. He is territorial atm so he has been given space but if he sees any human with something he wants he becomes aggressive to have it.
I will be trying a few things listed above first. I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable in his cage but I also need to protect my family as well. Any advice you can suggest what to do when he does attack I would appreciate.
Every bird is teachable and trainable, with time, love, patience, consistency and understanding. I am going to recommend seeing a parrot pro or bird behaviourist to really take a deep dive into the birds history and helping you with this issues, try BirdTricks they are really knowledgable: birdtricksstore.com/products/kim-russell?rfsn=4048129.56de1&_pos=1&_sid=2dd0b2c0c&_ss=r They can provide specialized training techniques and offer advice on how to help your bird overcome its fear. I understand that this is a difficult situation for you, your bird and your family but there are ways to improve it and it sounds like you really love and care for him, he is lucky to have you!
My sun conure Skiddles, bites me if I'm on the phone, tv remote, or even getting a glass of water. He bites. I can't do anything when he's on me
I didn't take my bird out 1 time, because I had to work late and next she was very aggressive,
I am newly fostering a green-cheeked conure that was found outside. He loves being petted and loves being on my son's neck and snuggling with him. But when he comes on to me he bites. He has bit my ear, neck, and cheek. But he does let me pet him when he sits on our couch. I just firmly say "No", and push him away from where he is biting. He then bites my fingers. I am now afraid to have him on me. I don't want to feel this way because he loves the attention. Someone told me they think he is a female ( the vet wasn't sure), and the rescue association we got him from thought he was a boy. Anyway, someone told me female conures tend to bite human females more than male conures. Not sure if this is true. I have subscribed to your channel and have been following you since we got "Eddie" as this is a new adventure for us. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Hey! How wonderful of you to foster! I would like to mention that telling a bird “no” or punishment doesn’t work - in fact it can make things worse overtime. I would encourage you to also check out The Parrot Podcast, episode 10 talks about why punishment for birds doesn’t work and there are a few episodes where we also discuss biting with different guests as well who are experienced parronts or parrot trainers! Biting is a big issue for many bird owners and sometimes it’s best to consult with a professional to get to the root reason why it’s happening and since it’s a rescue there could be many! I suggest bestbehavedbirds.com 😊 you’ll be in good hands with Sophie & David❤️. It’s also a total myth that females bite more, in my opinion that’s incorrect. Biting can happen with any bird, male or female! Hope this helps!

Why do some birds just like females and not male’s
I know why my cockatiel is biting me. He will not ever go back in his cage on his own therefore I must grab him to put him back. I understand that is forbidden but most times it is necessary. Therefore he resents my hands. If he had his way he would be out all day long which would be okay except sometimes I have to go away or my elderly dogs need attention too. I believe right now he is hormonal and he just pounces on me and demands kisses then turns around and bites my hands at the first opportunity. I have to hide my hands. He’s 9 months old and he has changed drastically since I got him. He is an only bird and demands lots of attention. I am watching all the videos I can on training and working on it. I’m just very frustrated and needed to vent 😢
My female bird has injured my male bird so i put them away from each other
I have that mango too and named it mango🤣. Do u know why they get puffy when they get mad ? I have a boy who sometimes when new people arrive he gets so aggressive he starts biting everyone like literally for no reason. But other than that he never bites so I don’t understand why that makes him mad and why he gets puffy instead of just biting
When conures get mad or agitated, they may puff up their feathers as a sign of aggression or defence. Puffing up their feathers makes conures appear larger and more intimidating to potential threats or perceived enemies. This can help them deter predators or other things/birds/people they perceive as threatening. If your conure is very attached to you, it sounds like territorial behaviour; Territorial behaviour in conures can manifest in a variety of ways. For example, the bird may become defensive or aggressive when someone other than its favourite human enters its space or tries to interact with it. It may also become possessive of its favourite human and try to prevent other people from approaching or interacting with them.
Love birds
My bird is the sweetest to me, my husband and to a calm kid we know. But he bites all other kids, even my daughter. She has scared energy and other kids are kind of hyper. But even other adults have been bit hard. How do I get kids to be safe with him?
It will take a lot of consistent and patient training and socialization. If he is biting the kids I would avoid the trigger so the kids don’t get bit (don’t have the hyper kids around him /have him out interacting with them) and it would be good to do a consult with someone like Sophie & David from bestbehavedbirds.com because biting is really a complex topic and it’s important to understand your bird, why they are biting, etc.
I am confused. I always thought that parrots get hormonal in the spring. Is it both spring and fall?
Most parrots become hormonal during spring when the weather is warmer and daylight lasts longer. Although wild parrots only get hormonal in spring, our pet parrots can become hormonal all year round due to factors other than the weather. & as noted by BirdTricks; “SPRING BEHAVIORS ALSO HAPPEN IN THE FALL! While spring represents the season in which breeding impulses are the most demanding, the fall also brings about a comparatively milder resurgence of similar behaviors.”
I am curious if Mango ever bites you. Most people I talk to who have suns never get bitten. Mine is 18 and I still can get bitten if she is in one of her moods.
@@jcastellano822 no Mango doesn’t bite us, he only lightly bit me once but it was 100% my fault & I understood why he did it. Every bird is different but with training it can get better! Mia has a totally different personality than Mango!
@@PoodlesandParrots Lucky duck! Was Mango hand raised?
i dk what the issue is but he bites my hands and now he biting like a pinch on my ear, neck and arms. i locked him in his cage because i cant deal with it
You might want to consider a consultation with parrot trainers like best behaved birds.com to help you figure out the root cause of the biting and a plan on how to work on it 🥺
Hi , my macaw bng last week no bite me , this few day very fiece and bite me
Sorry to hear that! Stay tuned because I’ll be doing a video this month on resources of where to go when you need an extra helping hand like a consult with a bird behaviourist, but I can suggest Jen who’s very knowledgeable www.thegreenbirdbrigade.com or Sophie & David from bestbehavedbirds.com
I bought new lovebirds where they were supposed to be tamed yet unfortunately they stopped being friendly and one even tried to bite any suggestions?
Well their behaviour and friendliness changes depending on how we build the relationship with them, it takes constant work with birds. I would encourage you to check out a few more of my videos and make sure you’re feeding a good diet - I have loads on diet since this is very important and can impact behavior as well. You could also consider a consult with best behaved birds.com hope this helps! Oh and I also have a podcast that offers a-lot of insight!🙃

AVOID YELLING ofc my bird yalling me for no reson as a example: my bird play with my finger and then turn around and back some steps and get her ass to my another finger and get mad when I do not even move, or yalling me when I do not play with her and some times she yalling me to leave house when I have to for some hours

My 3.5mth old fischer lovebird bites hard all the time, fingers, hands, ears, neck, face all for no reason.He was great for the first week. Sleeping in my hair etc. Now he's like a little dinosaur. Please help!!
There's always a reason for the biting; we just don't always understand the reason when we are just starting to learn their behaviour. To get a detailed understanding, I would suggest a consult with a bird behaviourist like bestbehavedbirds.com and they even help you set up a plan for success!
Kalinda, same!!!!
Ok
My sisters bird literally just flew into my hair, and then I put her on her cage then walked away then she flew back towards me and landed on my hand and bit the fuck out of the back of my hand and tbh I think she was mad I wasn't giving her attention
Where did you buy the turquoise yellow sided conure im trying to get one exactly like this
Where do you live? You have to research breeders in your area, I have a video on how to spot a good breeder which may be helpful. My next video that will be posted soon; I share how and where to find breeders depending where you live and what pets you are looking for - please stay tuned 😊😊

I don't have a pet conure, I have a dog, he bites anyone he doesn't like and is like another child in the house. 😂😂
😢😢😢 I punished she bite results she don't bite now
It looks like you still don't have Mango, so sad.
No we don’t 💔💔❤️🩹 he’s happy & healthy in Thailand and we are so grateful to our BFFs for giving him so much love. We miss him dearly🥺❤️ during fall & winter it’s not safe for birds to travel because of the cold 🥶 and airlines don’t usually allow it. We hope to be reunited in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣!
I thought you should not let your bird on your head?
Parrots sitting on our heads isn't a good or bad thing (#mythalert). As a parrot owner, it is up to you what you feel is tolerable behaviour. Some owners love their parrots sitting on their heads and think it's affectionate, while others think it's a sign of dominance (not generally the case...). I really don't mind having my birds on my head as long as they don't poop 💩 in my hair 😆. Parrots will usually gravitate towards the highest place possible because it's stable and high up. Mia also frequently hangs out on my shoulder or naps in my hair 🥹💕
N no

I had a bird who bit me ONCE,......he was delicious.
Why did you make it bite you?
