Green Cheek


How to react when my green cheek conure rubs her bottom on my hand?


Answer:

Hi Steven,

It’s best to distract her to something else – a toy, a treat or maybe work on a trick. Or have her “walk the ladder’ by encouraging her to step from one hand to the other by placing one hand slightly higher.

We recently hosted two webinars covering hormonal behavior in pet birds that you might find helpful.

Webinar: “Spring Is In the Air: How To Deal With Your Pet Bird’s Hormonal Behavior!”

Webinar: “Pet Birds & Hormonal Behavior: Part 2!”

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
