conure biting

Question
we rescued a conure 3 months ago but i cannot get him to stop biting otherwise he is a happy singing normal conure any tips to avoid biting thanks

Answer
First you need to find out why his is biting. Is he biting because he is afraid? Because he is frustrated? Is it aggression?
These all need to be handled differently. This bird is fairly new you still need to work on gaining trust with this bird by lots of positive reinforcement. Let him know that you are friendly and not going to hurt him.

I have several training techniques and sources for you to check out.
The first on is a great book that I strongly encourage you read:
"The Second-Hand Parrot"

Also here is a great video with a great training technique:
