Chloe is 12 weeks old and this morning i uncoverd her and got her out to love on her and she started to bite me over and over.i told her no in a mean tone and put her back in her cage. i told her she was in time out and no bitting.How long should i leave her in her cage and then get her out again?
I was so shock b/c she has never bite me before.......she seems happy playing and making funny noises and bobbing her head.she is losing her pin feathers also. is that ok?thanks

Awwwww.... 12 weeks is so LITTLE!

Is it possible that when you uncovered her cage you startled her and she didn't recognize you for a second? Once a lot of critters get into defensive mode the fight/flight response doesn't kick out until they've had a minute to calm down. And apparently quakers are all fight response naturally. *grins* Goofy little dragons think they're BIG birds.

Time out should only be about 5 minutes. It's important to try again after that time. If she bites again, another time out until she gets it.

Maybe she got up on the wrong side of the perch. They do get grumpy sometimes for no apparent reason.

In this case, she may have won the battle. Being put back home, is what she probably wanted. Take a little more time, before asking her to step up.

Also, try to repremand in a calm tone, excitement is what they Crave.

You may have just startled her. My green guy Little Max does this repetitious ka ka ka ka really loud sometimes if something startles him. He makes a fantastic Watch Bird. No self respecting and cautious burglar would dare break into my house being fearful of having his face bitten off by my little Pteradactyl.

When my guys bite I simply say "Don't bite" and then put them down and walk away. I don't put them in the cage I put them down on top or one their boing or on a perch on the outside of their cage and they truly get sad. They hate to lose the attention.
