My bird needs a can of whip-ass.

Asked by iAMi (54) January 20th, 2009 from iPhone

Okay, i have a pet Cockateel, i’ve had him for like a month now, but all he does is bite anything that comes near him.

I don’t know how to teach a bird not to do stuff, but he clearly needs to know not to bite people.

I can pick him up by wrapping my hand around his whole body (he’s not that big) and put him on my shoulder, but he doesn’t like being away from his cage. I’ve never even heard of punishing a bird, but sometimes he pisses me off so bad that i wanna smack him.

He’s already bitten me so hard that he draws blood, and i’ve let it go, but he’s not friendly at all. So i’m just wondering if there’s any way i can teach him to be nicer to people.

Thanks!
