Okay...
Oatis constantly flys to my fiance and preens him etc he does this to others as well infact anyone but more so my fella! but he has never bitten me! yet he bites my partner! he even drew blood!! always his fingers,and nails!! even worse now my partners hairs been shaved off!! is he thinking my partner is top bird and trying to take over or id he just biting for attention?? i dont get it!! we both shower him with affection and kisses! he lets me scritch his neck front and back but my partner tries and he bites! yet he always acts more for my partner!! just dont understand his behaviour? he squwawks real loud when he bites him yoo (oatis not my partner lol) help!!

Has he begun biting him more since he shaved his head? Sometimes the slightest little change that you and I might take for granted will really upset a bird. They become creatures of habit and anything that is just a little different can be quite scarey to him.

Things like hair color or the change of cologne's sometimes just a color of clothing can really set them in to "stranger danger" mode

Does he bite your partner more when he's close by you or does it matter? If he is biting your partner more when he's close to you he's basically telling your partner that hey, this is my girl you stay the heck away. Sometimes they will actually attack their favorite person to get them to move away from preceived danger.

There's several things you can do to help this behavior, You can try what we call the rescue technique and that's where his favorite person will take him into a strange room out of site of his cage, place him on the floor and walk away and close the door. Then you wait for a few minutes and then have the other person go in and rescue him, making a big deal out of it. "Poor birdie" "I'll save you" etc. Then have the partner stay in that room with the bird and ask him to do step ups from one hand to another, for a bit praising him in an excited happy voice Good Boy and maybe give him one of his favorite treats. It might take a few times but it will help.

You might also try going to a nuetral room out of sight from his cage, You have him and then hand him off to your partner and tell him to be a good bird. Then turn and walk away totally out of his site and then have your partner play with him be excited to have him, but not so loud or excited that it scares him. A treat would be good as well Then after a little while he can bring him back into where you are or his cage is and hand him back. And tell him what a good birdie he was.

When he's not nice and bites, you can have a time out perch...not his cage and not on you...someplace where its out of normal site paths or at least far enough away from his cage that he can't get to it. When he's naughty tell him he's a naughty bird and put him there. Just like a time out chair for a little kid, He only has to use that perch for a time out. Leave him there for just a few minutes, I'd say no more than 5 he's been banished from his flock... A fate worse than death to most birds. Remember to use "Naughty bird" when you put him there and naughty bird when he does something you don't want him to do. But when you pick him up off the naughty bird perch, Say something like...OK now are you going to be a "GOOD bird" and pick him up etc.

Its going to take repitition but eventually he'll figure out good/exceptable behavior keeps him with his people flock, naughty behavior puts him on his time out perch. Don't just put him back in his cage. That like sending a child to their room. Its not really a good punishment because they can play or do anything in their room that they want so by putting him back in his cage he's free to play with his toys, eat or what ever. And he may just start doing naughty things so he doesn't have to interact with people and knows he can go back to his cage. But with the time out perch he doesn't get to play with anything. He just gets to sit there alone.

You have a naughty perch and you have a play stand perch...don't use the same perch. It will confuse the issue. Make sure the naughty perch is lower than your shoulders preferrably about waiste high so that it is also telling him that he's now lowest man on the totem pole.

Hope these suggestions help you. Good luck.

i shall try your suggestion:) thanks
it isnt any particular time really!he doesnt have to be near me,his cage or anything!! just kinda does it randomly!he did it before the head shave but more so now hes changed his hair! he seems to love my partner! flys to him more than me! and gives him more kisses etc and will perch on his hand longer than he does mine but just bites him not me!! very baffling haha!!! always seems to be his nails aswell never anywhere else! he nibbles his ears and everything then chomps on his finger nails!! hes never done this to anyone else!!

Kirsty, You could clip his wings. Alto of times that will help. I know it helps Meeka's attitude alto when she can't fly over and bite my husband. Plus she is a much friendly bird to Me as well. I truly wish you Good Luck and I hope you find a solution to this problem of your little fellow~!

My birdy used to bite everyone, but would wait until you werent looking, being sneaky about it. What i did, and it worked great for me, was everytime midori would bite, i would SOFTLY grab his beak with my thumb and forefinger and make the sound i make when midori is doing something bad. Now midori practically never bites, and even when he bites other people it is very light and doesnt hurt. i grab his beak, but if midori pulls his head back he can get out of it.

It might work for you too.

thanks midori i shall try that time out just isnt working he just giggles at us!! think hes just trying his luck and trying to be top bird haha! i dont want to clip his wings hes only 11weeks and 1 day and it could cause him future problems! I wont give up on him though just have to put my blue quaker on hold until this little fella behaves! Another fid may make him worse! hes a great big show off and not at all shy! he's just too big for his boots i think lol
