Biting fingers!!!

Post by Mmila33556 »

I recently got my first IRN,he’s 5 months old ( i have him almost 2) and doing great so far, he likes to hang out with me, I recently started petting him (he didn’t allow me before) but it seems like he’s terrified of fingers😬 he allows me to handle him and pet him with my sleeves on but whenever he sees a finger he starts running towards my finger to bite it, or he chews on it hard and it really hurts. He steps up on my sleeve with no problem but If i try with fingers he bites.I try not to react most of the time but he keeps on doing it. Any advice would be welcome, since I’m a first time bird owner I wouldn’t like this behavior to continue!

*also for the last 2 days I keep finding small feathers everywhere, he doesn’t seem to miss any feathers on him, is it something I should worry about?
