Hello there! I've had my gcc for almost four years now and I rarely have a problem with him biting me other than when he occasionally gets too excited while we're playing. Within the past two months I've noticed that if he's on me and he sees my sister he bites me as hard as he can and even causes me to bleed! He's never done that until recently, do you have any suggestions on how to stop this? As far as I know she's never done anything to him and doesn't even handle him.

He may be developing one-person aggression problems, even if your sister has never done anything the bird will lash out because of their attachment to you, defending a mate/ ensuring no one takes their mate would be the closest interpretation of this. This tag goes over how to help reduce that problem! The more socialization the bird gets the better, take it slow and follow the processes listed in the previous link, I hope this helps!
