Have You Ever Solved A Problem With Your Pet Bird Like Biting, Screaming, Etc?

Question

I'm currently putting a book together on parrot care and behaviour training (this includes cockatiels, budgies, etc). I would like to include real examples of bird owners solving a behaviour problem. Whether your bird was screaming, biting, feather plucking, toilet trained, etc.

If you would like to be part of the book (and get a free digital copy when it's done), please share your story here (or email it to me). Would love to know how you've solved your bird's problems, thanks!

(Please also include your name (can be just your first name or an alias if you choose) and what species your bird is. Note that I'm not including stories that use punishment involving hitting birds, spraying with water, etc).

Thanks! :)

Right, I would never spray my budgie with water unless I was bathing her, she often liked this (providing I was spraying her with a light mist rather than an invasive stream). She also had an odd affinity to steam (I found this out accidentally). When ever she'd see daylight she'd scream bloody murder for an hour. Once this grew irritating, I would sort of shift the perch she stood on (it was more a rod that stuck out the cage) for her to settle down. It had promising results.

I have a pigeon, he borned in my lundry room. His name is Pancho and I raised him as my child. The problem is that he has a very strong temper and whenever he didn't like something I did he bited me. So I started to hold him in these anger attacks and kissed him a lot, and I recovered some respect but I also try to respect him now that he has grown up.
If you have more questions about my pigeon I'd be glad to answer you. Gabrielapa.
