Instead of asking what to do after you've been bit, you need to be asking yourself WHY you got bit, and how you could avoid getting bitten in the future.

Because if a parrot is biting you, it means you've pushed him too far out of his comfort zone and are doing something that is unpleasant to him -- making it hard to form a bond.

This isn't about obedience and MAKING your parrot obey your orders.

This is about building a "Bond of Trust & Friendship".

And it's all based on how comfortable your parrot is in his own skin -- or put another way... how fearful he is.

In Chet Womach's Total Parrot Transformation program he talks about what is called 3 Phases of Fear, that all parrots go through.

The program conveys to you that the most HARDEST way to train a parrot to stop biting, and the FASTEST way to derail any progress you're making with him, is by pushing him too far out of his comfort zone.

You have to train your bird in what he calls the 'Fringes Of Fear'. You have to ask him to do things that are just barely uncomfortable to him. Things that bit by bit can grow your birds comfort zone in a way that never scares him.

To put it plainly, it's the difference between a father who teaches his child how to swim by carrying his kid off to the end of the dock and tossing him in the lake, and the father who cheerfully coaxes his child in the water inch by inch and shows them how fun swimming can be.

One way teaches the child to run from their father with fear and mistrust, and the other has the child excited to go play with dad again.

But back to my main point...

The reason I'm bringing all this up is because you should NEVER get bit in your training. Because if you're getting bitten you've pushed your bird outside his comfort zone, and have done some level of harm to your relationship with your bird.

Probably not very much damage, but over time, and after hundreds of encounters, these little negative interactions add up and end up destroying a birds trust in their owner.

So if I could leave you with one thought to think about today, think about how you can do a better job of "Asking" your bird to do things that can help cure his fears, and grow his self confidence WITHOUT pushing him out of his comfort zone.

A lot of people, including myself in the past have talked about how the worse thing you can do after being bitten is to leave your parrot alone.

Walking out of the room or withdrawing your hand from your parrot after he bites you teaches the parrot that if he doesn't want to be touched, the best way to NOT get touched is to bite you... because it makes you leave.

So the quick answer to your question is to immediately make him do something to show him that he can't get you to leave him alone by biting you -- he has to do it ANOTHER way.

So the next time you get bit, remain calm, do NOT yell, say "Ouch" or anything. Many birds have been trained to bite because its fun for them to see their owners make loud noises.

Instead calmly remove your hand and then cue the bird to do a trick that shows him that if he wants you to leave him alone he has to do something for you first, like the "Wave Bye Bye Trick" which is available in this Taming, Training & Tricks course.

This should snap every bird you're training out of their funky little mood of biting you and gets them to be more cooperative. As long as you aren't asking them to do things WAY outside their comfort zone.

Another thing that you can teach in this respect is how to SAY "Bye Bye" on cue. And a little trick about teaching "Bye, Bye" on cue that you might find helpful is to leave the room every time your bird says bye bye.

By training this word and then leaving the room you can train your bird to say "Bye Bye" if they want to be left alone... because they know it makes you leave the room.

This keeps you from being bitten, because you know they don't want to be touched!
