Jumping on my face

[eldiel]

Hello,

We have a great relation with my budgie. I and my wife are really enjoying his accompaniment. He is always with us, he talks, plays with us and He is around 95 days old and he is still learning. but he has a bad habit. He sometimes bites very aggresively and he generally jumps on our face to perch. 

How shall we act to stop these undesirable actions? I can ignore the pain when he bites and turn my head away but it is not same for my wife.

Any advice is appreciated.

Jumping on your face like this



or like this



He will grow out of it, in time.

The biting is his way of testing the ground to see how far he can go. If you can anticipate when a bite is coming you can say "NO" quite sharply and move him away. He has to learn. As long as he isn't drawing blood then one has to soak up the pain I'm afraid. It doesn't last long.

Yes OP exactly like this:) I will not take any action with the face issue but I will pay more attention.

Today just recently I got the worst bite ever, it almost bleeded. From now on I will use the way you suggested.

As long as he isn't biting from fear; you need to determine that.

Yes! He was mighty quick as well. One minute he was looking through my glasses the next he was up my nose.
