Question
I have an eighteen month old eclectus who has been brilliant until just recently. now he is starting to bite with a vengence. is it his age?

Answer
HI CAROLE
HE IS GETTING TO THE BREEDING STAGE AND IS TRYING YOU SO FLICK HIS BEAK AND SAY A LOUDER FIRM, NO NO BITE ME.  PLEASE.
KEEP HANDLING HIM WITH NO FEAR TO OVERCOME THIS HABIT HE IS TRYING YOU ON AND PET AND PRAISE HIM WHEN HE IS A GOOD BIRD.  TALK TO HIM LIKE HE IS YOUR CHILD.  HE WILL LEARN YOUR LANGUAGE IF USED DAILY AND PLAY A RADIO AND BURN A NITE LIGHT FOR HIM, COVER AT NIGHT FOR PRIVACEY TO REST.

WORK DAILY WITH HIM , LET HIM BITE AND DO NOT BACK OFF, JUST TELL HIM BAD BIRD THAT HURT ME DO NOT BITE ME AGAIN PLEASE.  HE WILL STOP, ALSO GIVE HIM A PINCH OF HARD BOILDED EGG YOLK FOR PROTEIN, WHAT HE DOES NOT EAT WITHIN TWO HOURS REMOVE AND KEEP DOING THIS DAILY TILL HE LEARNS TO LOVE THIS TREAT.  GIVE HIM CUBED SMALL APPLES, CARROTTS, ETC.

WARM REGARDS
