Jan 11, 2008; return of the biter...for a moment...hopefully.

Tonite, I came home, I was gettin her outta the cage on the handperch like I have for the past month, for whatever reason she was trying to bite me like last nite.
I got her out, she snagged me pretty good on the arm that I usually just let her stepoff onto. Even though it surprised me, I didn't scream like a girl like I wante to. It was a good bite. Left some indentions. I just put her back in the cage and walked away. I waited 5 minutes, went back, same thing, I put her back. I did this about 3 times But the last time I let her call me about 10 minutes I guess and went back and she hopped on perfect. I walked around and talked loudly in the other rooms adjoining where she could hear me. I then went back and NO bite at all.
She tried to bite me a little bit when trying to stepup from the barstool after dinner and there again, I walked away to the office. I rattled the bowl of seashells she likes to play in and made a lot of noise. She started calling. This time I didn't go immediatly. I felt like it was conditioning her to that process. So, I held off for about 10 minutes and let her call me. Then went and she hopped on board. I am, as I said earlier, cueing her as I walk up with "wanna go?" Then "stepup" as I extend my hand.
She was great after that for the rest of the nite. She ate popcorn while we watched "surf's up" with our son. Our daughter is 14, and she has a Friday nite social life now.
