Egyptian geese are fiercely territorial—so much so, they’ll chase off much larger birds (and the occasional jogger) if you get too close to their goslings.

Lovebird Help

I have an aggressive lovebird that my older sister gave me; she didn’t have anyone else to give him to so i wanted to give him a shot and try to sort him out of his bad behaviors, well things aren’t turning out well. He likes to bite hands; this is why she gave him up, and now he likes to bite my neck and ears.

And i’ve been looking online for tips of how to stop the biting but it’s just gotten worse with the neck area and you’re not supposed to react to the biting cause they’re getting a reaction from you and just keep doing it and it is SO HARD to not react when getting so many tiny pinches on your neck especially when he bites real hard. So he’s just gonna keep doing that and i am trying so hard not to react but he just keeps going at it. never getting tired of it or finding something else to do.

I don’t really know anyone nearby who is good with birds, so if anyone’s willing to give me some bird advice it would be really appreciated. I know there’s a sweet bird in that tiny body but i feel like i’m doing something wrong and making things worse 

tldr: bird bites hard and i’m doing a bad job not reacting and making it worse help how stop biting

idk what to do anymore and i don’t wanna give up on him so i guess message me and tell me what i should be doing

Cage Aggressive Thorin

Does anyone have any advice for dealing with a cage aggressive bird? Thorin has been very angry and lunges at me and bites me every time I try to take him out of his cage. He's been biting hard and holding on like he's trying to hurt me. If I stick my hand in the cage to change the food/water or to give him scritches, he has no problem, and he'll bow his head and turn it so I know where he wants me to pet him. But the second I say "step up" he will lunge and me and bite me. I have to use a perch to get him out of his cage. This is a relatively new thing, and my boyfriend has noted that he's started to attack his toys, even though we rotate them fairly regularly. Out of the cage, he's totally fine (unless he's too close to his cage). Help please! For Thorin's health and the well-being of my hands.
