Oh Marilyn, I do feel for you, but first and formost YOU didn't do anything wrong. What you have is a Green Cheek Conure, I have one myself. For such a small bird they pop a wallop of personality and a wallop of a bite! Your little guy might even be jealous of the time you and your fiance spend together and thinks you should know. You may never know why he got nippy but I think you are on the right track for correcting the behaviour. Continue being the one that provides the treats and meals ect, but let your fiancee be the one to dish out the time outs as punishments. If the bird misbehaves let him know from somebody he already respects, if your the one putting him back in the cage he might resent you even more. As for the rest of the maintenance and cleaning of the cage and area get your fiancee involved girl!! It may be that the bird sees you as a parent and your fiance as a potential mate and may be trying to say lay off mom there is a hottie in the room! Besides two set of hands at chore time are always better than one!!!
