my bird bites me so hard how can i make that stop?

Question

it has 3 other birds parakeet budgie

Answer 1

Do not tell your bird NO or try to punish it by returning it to its cage or anything else. You need to understand how birds think. Your bird believes it has a reason to bite you, and you need to understand the reason and resolve it by means other than punishment. Since it's a parakeet, the reason is probably just that it's scared. They're not really that complex. You need to work to make it trust you, and as was said earlier being gentle, and patient, is the only way to achieve that.

You have to first give him time to settle into his cage. You then have to move slowly through the hand training instructions, not going too fast. Make sure the parakeet is thoroughly accepting one stage before you move on to the next stage.
Most cages can be cleaned without putting your hands into the cage. Many modern cages even let you change the water and food without putting your fingers into the cage. Think of the cage as the parakeet's safe sanctuary. Let's say you were in your favorite treehouse, where you were safe. Now say a gigantic hand came reaching down for you from the sky. You'd try to defend yourself in your treehouse, right? That's all that the parakeet is doing. You have to teach him, slowly, patiently, to trust you. But it won't just happen in days, or even in weeks. Especially if you have an older keet or one from a bin-of-budgies, it might take months. But you will be developing a friendship that will endure for years and years.
Really, the essence of not being bit is to not put your fingers near a bird that is afraid. If your bird is not hand trained, your hand should not be near it. Talk quietly and soothingly to your bird. Keep the stress levels down, by not introducing new birds until the birds are thoroughly familiar with each other (in separate levels) and letting the bird have a full 8 hours of fully dark, quiet sleep each night. Just like humans, birds get cranky if they don't get enough sleep, or if they are harassed while they are awake.
If your bird does bite, NEVER hit it. That will only make your bird more afraid, scared, and feeling threatened. Don't use water sprays (like some people do on cats) - water needs to be a healthy, normal thing for your bird. Just say NO in a loud, firm voice, and put a blanket over the cage to hide him from his world. That will both help him calm down and make him feel lonely, which is the punishment birds enjoy the least.

Answer 3

Well, It's probably not used to you. Or it can be that the bird is scared, continue to talk to the bird in a gentle tone and when it tries to bite sternly say "No Biting" and if it was served a treat take the treat away, when it does wrong say no, think of it as if it was a spoiled 2 yr old child. But don't forget never hurt the bird, be GENTLE!

Answer 4

before you handle the bird put a layer of soap on your hands . The bird will bite and get a taste of soap and not like the tate . Eventually it will not bite you because of the smell of soap. Use a mild soap like Ivory.

Answer 5

Wear leather gloves while handling it.
The bird will continue to bite at the gloves for a while until it realizes that it can't hurt you anymore and will eventually stop altogether, even without the gloves.
