While Charlie Parker isn't aggressive he does like to eat clothes. A lot. Anything with buttons, zips, a hanging thread, tag, or little hole is an invitation to destroy. It was a losing battle trying to train him not to chew, plus it's so damn cute when he climbs inside my shirt or into my pockets, so I throw on old jeans & shirts for playtime and keep an old hand towel around to put over my shoulders and tuck inside my collar when I have a good shirt on. It also helps to distract him with a strip of paper to shred, although the confetti always ends up down my back.
Is it any particular color of clothes or all of them? One of my aviary irns (Grey male) comes over to me when I have a black shirt on and tries to pull my shirt off, he looks me up and down and then decides to lift the sleeve up and see if I have anything hiding up my arm. But he only comes to me if I have a black shirt on.
