I think it is just natural for him to chew the wood. Be glad he is chewing his branch and not the wood work in your house. I had a Quaker parrot that loved to chew her branches. I just let her go and would put new branches in when the old ones got chewed through.

I would say go with hope, but don't care about the consequence. Desire something, but disregard negative consequences. Like a runner in a race, hope for first but be happy that u are healthy no matter what. If you can't do that, then it depends on the situation. Any time that your hope contributes to the well being of a group, then hope. For example, a sport team member awaiting the biggest game of the season, or an Auschuwitz captive. Otherwise, only hope if it benefits you. If your studying for a test, don't hope to get a good grade. Assume you will get a good grade. You will waste less time worrying or thinking about scenarious and will have more time to study. And confidence improves memory!

All birds need to chew, both to keep their beaks healthy and to relieve boredom. Even if he doesn't seem bored, chewing is perfectly natural. If you don't like the things he's chewing on, get him a chew toy that is meant for him to destroy, so you won't be upset about him eating away at his perch.

It is natural for birds to chew. It keeps their beaks healthy. The best thing for a parrot or parakeet to chew is something soft yet durable. Wood can splinter, and also a bird's beak can crack over the years. A thick handtowel often works best. Hang one in your bird's cage, over his branch if possible, and he will likely choose that over the wood.

It's natural for a bird to chew on the perch or anything that's wood. If you don't like him chewing on the perch you should get some toys that have wooden blocks or rawhide in the toy. If that still doesn't work I know they do sell the petrified wood perches.

My Cockatiel does that to. I think the only thing you can do is train him not to chew the branch.

I put apple branches in my cockatiels cage and it makes them happy to tear it apart. It's like they are conditioning their bills. It's just natural thing for them.

well my parrot used to chew on anything he could find even people .. funny the little bastard wouldn't bite me, like if i was his mama .. anywho i think its natural for birds to chew on things but i think you should by him a cuttlebone which is not only good for their health but it keeps the beak strong and healthy and provides the bird with calcium .. good luck :O)
