Most of us have noticed that birds bite. But it doesn't always mean that they want to hurt us. There can be many reasons to use their strong beaks.

You should only be concerned if those bites are used for violence. If you think your bird's behavior has gone drastically downhill, here are a few possible reasons:
1. DUE TO FEAR
Birds often bite pet owners because they are afraid. They will often bite if you don't socialize them. So, try to spend some quality time with them and make them feel safe from you.
2. YOUNG BIRD BEHAVIOR
Mostly baby birds bite because, initially, they are not socialized. You probably don't need to worry about a young bird hurting you.
It is essential to teach your birds at an early age. You have to teach them that biting can be painful if you do not have any other birds to teach them.
3. DUE TO BREEDING
These animals are much more likely to defend their territory and act more protective of their mates. Possibly, the biting behavior is a hormonal phase.
4. PLAYING CAN BE ANOTHER REASON FOR BITING
During play sessions, birds sometimes bite each other. Sometimes they are overexcited and grab you so tightly that it hurts.
Keep an eye on your bird's body language and cut playtime short if they seem exhausted. Also take extra care for them.
5. DUE TO SICKNESS
Birds can also get sick just like us. That time they can be a little aggressive. But you have to handle the situation carefully and consult with a veterinarian.
