Enjoy your new friend!

Well dude I thought the same thing. I have pics of "Sherbet" on my shoulder getting lost in my hair. It's a Yellow sided Green Cheek Conure and would give me kisses so gently on my closed lip. This bird is almost 4 years old now and has been going Through a biting faze. First it was on a step up coming out of the cage very unusual as he/she was so ready to step up and come out to play It drew blood and developed a pretty good blood blister. Then the unthinkable on my shoulder and out of nowhere bite me on the ear, again drawing blood. Sure not the kind of damage a larger Parrot could inflict, but it got my attention. So for now I am using a dowel for setups and the shoulder is off limits until I sort this out. I am sure this is just growing pains So you are judging just from your personal experience and not from credible authors and perhaps other Parrot owners? I don't find my my reference to these books ridiculous and my war wounds to boot.
