Will this lead to biting later???

I'm still weaning my lovebird, and if shes playing around or whatever, and shes hungry, she sometimes starts to nibble on my fingers cause she thinks food comes out of there,lol.

Should I be worried that , when she gets older that she may start biting my fingers alot if I let her get used to nibbling on them?

Human babies go through a mouthing stage. So do puppies. Being that parrots don't have hands, they explore *A LOT* with their mouths. You may want to encourage nibbling on toys and other objects, however, it's still likely for her to go through a biting stage when she starts testing out her beak. During this itme you can teach her what is and is not acceptable as far as pressure goes.
