Shah has been such a wonderful boy lately. He is full of fun (and cheekiness). I never get bitten anymore - until last night that is. I have a cold at the moment and my throat keeps drying out. So, while I was playing with his Lordship, I popped a throat lozenge into my mouth. He went completely berko and bit me on the chin - and wouldn't let go. There was blood everywhere. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed and told him so in a rather loud voice. What did he do - he dropped his head for a scritch - can you believe that? What did I do - gave him a scritch of course  He is moulting at the moment so I guess he is a bit more sensitive than usual. |

Maybe he thought you were missing Old Shah? Or maybe he was making sure that you really, really appreciate New Shah. Grasping at straws here.  |

And you told me Bonnie had US well trained...sorry about your bitten chin. Maybe Shah's hormones are kicking in, or else he's jealous of the lozenge, maybe both! ? It's hard when you get used to the pesky chickens behaving better for a bit; it takes you by surprise more when they suddenly regress. |

He was back to being Mr Perfect tonight. When he behaves like this, he rivals the Gentleman Quaker, Ralph |

This is like when we use bandaids... Cupcake really never bites, but put on a bandaid and you are likely to get a major wound. Granted, she clearly thinks she is helping us remove something that shouldn't be there, because she bites in a manner that she simply doesn't do when she thinks she's biting us... but still, it hurts |

My lovebird did the same thing with bandaids. Also with pencils and Kleenex.

Just like Ralph does sometimes, I think that Shah has to remind himself-- and you, Jan-- that he is a Quaker parrot and needs to act like one now and then. |
