My bird bit me.?

He's a young bird, he's just exploring. My conure uses her beak to pull herself onto my finger sometimes, and that's harder than what I would call a nibble but she isn't doing it to hurt me. She's using it like a branch. I don't mind, I just tell her be gentle and she's starting to get it. But when your bird shows frustration and you make a mistake and then he bites, you grab his beak if possible, between your thumb and pointer finger knuckle and you say no, firmly. Then put him in his cage for time out. Birds are actually pretty intelligent, even budgies are smarter than a cat or dog. So they can actually understand time out. So putting him in his cage for 2-3 minutes over time will help with the firm grab of the beak and the verbal No. When he play bites, young birds do this to test limits and explore tell him be gentle and rmeove your finger. Let him nibble on you to preen you and test you out but when he starts to get harder tell him be easy. if he doens't listen and he bites harder grab his beak, tell him no, and time out. After awhile he'll catch on. You gotta start discipline right away so you prevent older birds from biting. Babies usually don't hurt as bad.
