Yeah mine is slowly getting better too, apparently they go thru a "teenage' sort of phase that they bite everything and everyone. I had to put mine in a cage, cos he chewed the walls, chewed my daughters bottles and toys, my toes, anything he could get!

Aww that is so cute! My little birdy made a HUGE knot in my hair the other night. It took me 2.5 hours to give up on it (solved it with scissors) but he thought it was riots of fun!

A Bourkes Parrot is an unusual choice of pet bird. Was it hand reared?? If not i would be wary of stress levels as they aren't usually the most confident of birds..

They are an amazing and friendly bird. Never bite. I know people who have worked with birds their whole lives and have never been bitten. Our pair has tried a few times to breed but always in the extreme weather hopefully we will get lucky this season and get enough babies in the nest to sneak one out and hand rear it. Here is a few photos of some of our birds

Many parrots choose not to bite when held, even when not handreared. Mainly the grass parrots (neophemas) kakarikis etc. Even princess parrots hardly ever bite when caught.

I was commenting on the unusual choice of a 'pet' bird. ie - one kept on its own in a cage inside, not pets out in an aviary etc.
