training not to bite

[bekfreak]

I don't do much other than just don't react to the bite. Sometimes there's actual meaning to the munch. I know when Bella gets hungry, tired, or is busy she'll just push my finger aside. Also, a bird's beak is also another foot so it will be used to help with balance if they're unsteady. It's another form of communication and if she's angry it's pretty easy to figure that out if she is or not.

The hold the beak bit is a game I do with Bella and I did it with her in play as a baby. It's now that a game. I hold her beak, kiss it, and she gives me her sound I taught her.

I've been trying to "think like a parrot", I don't know if this will work, but everytime Caesar bites me, I kinda make a squeal, like he does if he's upset or hurt himself, and move away from him. I'm trying to act like a parrot would if he just came up and bit them in the wild.
