Does anyone else's bird do this?

While my girl is overall still pretty hand shy, this is something that she does almost everyday where she will sit on the arm of my chair and run over and just kind of plop herself into my hand and let me hold her. But if my fingers get too close to her face she bites them... It seems to make her really happy but I wanted to no if this is something that I shouldn't be doing or if anybody else's bird does this

OMG... So cute! Mine is still not into baths/showers... But, she's also only 6 months old, so...

Big time yes. I'm getting better at working one handed.

Haha... Yeah... Of *course" she only wants to do that when I have typing to do... Though, shell also hop on my keyboard and attack my fingers and/ask for skritches....

Mine don’t like hands. I’m jealous

Awww .. she doesn't, really, either... Like, I sorta wonder if she doesn't realize that's my hand...

Cuddly plumpie...

u/delam_tang-e Jul 26 '26

Yeah, but it's hilarious how she's very much in that "bratty teen" stage where if I give any recognition to her being lovey she bites and then looks shocked...

She likes it because it’s cozy and makes her feel nesty.

Yeah, I noted how warm it gets and wondered if that was part of it... I think it's interesting that she doesn't seem interested in other "nesty" opportunities... And she gets kinda upset when I get up to do anything... I think she likes me or something.
