Last try.

My budgie and I are struggling I cannot train her she just keeps bitting me. I've used alot of training techniques but, none of them work. I am losing hope that she will stop bitting me and need some help. Are females more aggressive when they are in season? And when do you think she won't be in season. Maybe she is just really stubborn.Thanks.

Scott, Hang in there. It will probably take time and a lot of patience. How are you dealing with it currently? Have you read any specific books on it? I hear that "the beak book" is good, but haven't read it yet. hoping to get it for xmas. I"m sure others will be along ot offer opionions. but the more info you give us, the better.

I am hand feeding her but, it doesn't seem to be doing anything she just gets mad and starts bitting me.I think I'll probaly go out and buy it with my CHRISTMAS MONEY.But they cost so much down here in TEXAS.

[Stacey32]

buy what? the book? maybe there are better ones for this specific problem. I have a lot of reading to do myself....I do have the book "your outta control bird" which is somewhat helpful as well.

Scott,
May I ask a few questions? How long have you had your bird? How old is your bird? By hand feeding, how do you mean? Just trying to get more info so I can help you out.

[Scott16]

Yes the book sorry. :oops: I have had her for 1 year and she is about 1 and a half years old. When I hand feed her I place a treat in my hand and put my hand in the cage she takes to it but, she bites me also. :x :x

[Stacey32]

where did you get her? is she from a shop, or did you get her from another home? Does she come out of her cage at all? just wanting to get more info so that the little advice I may have to offer will be good! Hope you have a great holiday...

[TooLover]

Do you take her out of the cage and interact with her that way? They needs lots and lots of one-on-one time to become social with you. Why not leave the cage door open and let her venture out on her own. Maybe sit by her cage and talk to her, or read the paper or a book - just be near her. Sounds to me like she is very territorial in her cage. My quaker is the same way. While he is in the cage he bites us; however, when you take him out of the cage he is a different bird, and will allow us to touch him, and he loves riding around on our shoulder.

I got her from a nieghbor and she won't come out of her cage at all :( :(
