A patient of mine highly recommended you. I’ve watched some of the biting videos but you see I took in a rescue sun conure. We believe it’s male. It humps everything right now.
His wings are not clipped mind you and I’m not against doing it if it will help.
My issue is not only is he hand shy but also a biter really bad.
We believe he is 4-5yo.
Where should I start and how?
Yay!! I can’t wait to read the article. By the way, do you or anyone you know have experience with Galahs (aka Rose-breasted cockatoos)?
I have one that I got as a baby (It was about 6-9 months old). She is just under 2 years old now. I wasn’t impressed when I drove out of state to buy her from the breeder that came with great recommendations.

I am a proponent of clipping wings. I know not everyone feels this way, but I’ve had a cockatiel break his neck flying into a mirror when a loud, unfamiliar noise outside frightened him and other bad experiences with flighted companion parrots.
Hello,
I really enjoy your emails and am always interested in the things I learn, or the laughs I get.
One thing, they are never boring.
Sometimes I see something I’d love to share with my bird club.
