Conure biting
I have a pineapple conure that likes to bite. How can I train him to stop?
Question:
Answer:
Hi George,
When dealing with biting, you need to figure out why the bird is biting. I know it can seem like they do it without warning, but they always have a reason. Sometimes it may simply be they do not want to be handled. Any unwanted behavior needs to be ignored – parrots do not learn from punishment. I’m going to give you the links to our training page and our behavior page. These have a lot of information and should help you to identify why he bites and how you can handle it.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
