My bird likes my father better?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
...if your bird likes your dad more, that's okay-as long as you spend more fun-time with your parrot, she'll surely like you more. You should spend many hours with it a day, not necessarily play-time, but maybe just let's-just-spend-time-together-doing-not... time. After a while, you can start clicker training your parrot, an A+ way to spend time together and bond. In the meantime, while bonding and doing fabulous tricks, you can teach your conure that biting is a big no-no, something that clicker trainers teach their parrots on their clicker-training path. Also, if you don't want your parrot to bite before you you get your training started, I advise that you wipe your hands with something your parrot doesn't like. For example, my birds don't like blueberries, so I sometimes wipe some blueberry juice on my fingers to prevent biting.

If you do consider clicker training, i advise you to consider using the manual The Bird School: Clicker Training for Parrots. I think that that is the five star book for clicker training item, and I think it would be better for you to clicker train your bird before you move out, so she won't stress out when she leaves your dad. Good Luck with your conure!!!!!

Some birds just naturally choose either men or women to like and don't like the other sex. You can't really change that as far as I know, but maybe if you are the only one with the bird and it never sees anyone else, it might become more kind towards you (or not!). They have their preferences just as people do. It's not really fair, but it's their nature. If you sell the bird, make sure you mention that it prefers men.

give the bird away. its not worth bothering when it doesnt like you.

I have a conure that adores my father and only tolerates me if I have gloves on or is on my shoulder. Without gloves she tears apart my hands. If I get close to my dad she flies straight to him. I can handle this except that, although my father likes the bird, he doesn't really want one. I'm 20 so in a couple years I'll be moving out. My dad doesn't want to keep the bird, but she really doesn't like me much so I'm not sure how it would be if i was the only one taking care of her. What should I do?

Btw, I know many people say not to put an aggressive bird on your shoulder but she doesn't ever bite facial features.
