Hi

My budgie Sammi is a really bad biter. I have tried many ways of stopping him to bite like using a squirty bottle, pushing into his beak when he bites me and more, but none of them have worked.

Just today, I was trying jus with my finger and I decided to wrap some plastic wrap around my finger so if he bit me he would taste plastic and stop. Amazingly I found that he didn't bite me at all. I'm not sure why it worked but it did. So I took the plastic off and still he didn't bite me.

Anyway, its just an experimental thing so I hope it will come in handy for anyone else with a biting budgie.

That's a good idea. Just be careful he doesn't ingest the plastic.

To teach my cockatiel not to bite a sprayed my fingers with Stop Pick Spray. He only bit me once!

I should try the plastic and spray ideas.

Newton is vicious and she bites sooo hard.

But she's so cute I just can't be mad at her.

Hello :budgiedance: just wondering what is pick spray?

Its a nasty tating spray to stop parrots picking feathers out. Great idea though :budgiedance:
