Bailey Demonstrates How Cockatoos Play with Parrot Toys

Parrots can make excellent companions and pets; however, if you are considering investing in one, be prepared to also invest a LOT of time each day, and know the damage that their beaks can cause.

does he ever bite you if he did or has stopped, how did you get him to stop? What kind of training method did you use. I have an indian ringneck and occasionall he try's to chew on my finger's and im trying to teach him to stop becuase he has a sharp beak.

@860175 Birds, as all animals, will definitely try to defend themselves if they feel threatened. I saw your video on Bluey (beautiful bird!) and baby birds will bite or chew just like puppies. Tell him sternly, "No!" when he tries to bite. You might try quickly blowing in his face (they don't like that) or, if he is on your hand, jerking your hand downward. The quick motion will make him unbalanced.
