  • My Parrot "Bites" - Part 2
    Oct 22 2024

    In our previous episode, we dove into the actual natural history of biting behavior in Parrots, along with the first two main reasons why you could possibly experience a bite at home. We continue today discussing the third and fourth main reasons, along with strategies to prevent such biting behavior in the home. It’s always important to remember parrots perceive things in much different ways than we do and a bite is never personal. Be kind to your parrot and it will be kind to you!
