I'm sure they all do if you have never worked with them.

I'm glad the 'horror' is over. They respond pretty quickly - but the 'no touching the Budgie' can be a hard road.

We have been working on Laker for about 6 months. He will now tolerate a under the beak & chest pat. If I try to give him scritches he opens his mouth in a threatening gesture. Rio will also threaten & you can almost have him 20 degrees backwards trying to avoid the hand.

I'd heard of Budgies biting hard but after Laker & Rio's feeble attempts I thought it was a myth. Laker got me on the lip once & that did hurt.
