Hard bites

[Cheeky beaks]

Hi' Kim. First my Goffin Pedro is doing great, stepping up and showing my his personality, what a goof.
My problem is with my other Goffin Little Bit, she has started biting really hard. She has her own bedroom and bed cage and when I put her to bed she's fine, but when I go to bring her out in the morning she bites hard and runs to the back of the cage so I can't get her. She's not scared, she acts like she wants attention. Head waving, bobbing and looking cute.
I have tried to leave her there and wait for up to 1/2 hour before I try again but it dosn't work, she still runs and when I get her she bites. I've resorted to toweling her to bring her out. She is also biting me when were having cuddle time. I'm stumped' I have tried to think if anything has changed and there is nothing. I play with her in the afternoon and play with Pedro at night when she's in bed. I was worried about her feeling, so I made sure she didn't see me being overly affectionate towards him.
I've put her back in her cage when she's bitten with a firm NO Bite and nothing I'm lost. Any ideas ? Thanks Joan

Work on stick training so that you can have her step up without worrying about her biting you.

If she's not used to stepping up on a stick, take things really slowly so that she can get used to it over time. You don't want to scare her, after all.

This will put the control back in your hands and should make a real difference.

If you need some suggestions on how to go about stick training, let me know.

Thanks Kim. I never thought of using stick training. I'll start now. Joan
