⥽ when all else crumbles ⚬ ⚬ ⚬
" Restlessness/boredom, fear, hunger. The more uncomfortable the animal the more likely it is to snap at you. The type of bird I dealt with are know to be particularly smart and need to be stimulated appropriately. He wasn't so he was very bored. He was incredibly noisy and I had to be very careful around him to not be bit. Unfortunately I let my guard down around him when the owner came back and that's when I got bitten. Before then we'd been fine because, as a stranger to the bird, I was very cautious not to do anything that could make him feel aggression towards me. Non-threatening behavior and all that. I worked hard in the couple of weeks I was there to stimulate him through playing and he was pretty happy with it. I didn't have any experience, though, and there wasn't much to work with there, but we managed to make some good music together which he loved XD
The one time any of my rats bit me was when it had a needle stabbed into its stomach by the vet. Unfamiliar environment + being in pain (both from the jab and because of why he got it) = me getting bit.
With the bird it was unusual situation + under-stimulation + different person handling him = me getting bit."
