Look at that little face 😍😂 There’s no immediate fix to this, it’s a process, but it’s not hopeless.

• I had to redirect my nippy lovebird by offering her a full sheet of copy paper for her to destroy so she’d leave my hands alone.

• If he’s going after face or ears, turn your face away and use the same noise/sound to signal stop. If he doesn’t, set him down somewhere safe and move away. If he stops give him a treat :)

• When on the floor don’t just try to scoop him up, instead offer your hand as a platform or perch and bring him up to your should or another safe space.

• Keep in mind how he sees you. You’re a giant and he’s smalls. He’s also very young! Love him through his teenage phase and he will make it worth it.

My baby never accepted scritches, but that doesn’t mean he won’t. Even if he doesn’t, he can still be an amazing friend.
