Hi everyone, I have 2 budgies and a Cockatiel, can anyone advise how to stop my Cockatiel biting me. He is about 2 months old, Playful, eats well, is healthy and is talking. Thanks in advance. Fern.

2 months old and talking? That's unheard of!!! When you're playing with him, try to keep your fingers (or any part of your body that he's biting) away from his beak. Give him a toy or something to chew on.

Aye, a Kiwi! Welcome!

As far as tiel biting, try distracting him, telling him "No" sternly when he bites, try ignoring him when he does bite (giving no real reaction), and rewarding him when he is good! If he might be a cuddly type of bird (somewhat doubt) then there is also another one you could try...
