Well it's still a work in progress... Her new thing to nibble when I remove her from my shoulder is the mouse for the computer... I let her on my head or shoulder every so often and when she gets to be too rough I tell her now and if she continues I move her either to her jungle gym or the desk with a ball or chewy stick.

The breeder had been the one to suggest the floor. She said a few seconds time out and pick her up again. Not to just plop her down there and leave her.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, we'll keep at it.

My first Parrotlet Jake was a bit of a nibbler and bitter he did get better but would always bite (and draw blood) when he thought he was right :) he would also bite the nice and the cables in the end I had to have two mice on the table one for me and one for him but he still preferred mine.

They are like people every one of them is different, Jake would come when I called him sit and preen on my thumb and then go to sleep and always step up when asked but then he would bite.

Squeak will step up when he wants to go into his cage but thats it no other interaction with him and he is a little bugger to catch if he doesn't want to go in. The pale blue one in the banner Bubbles she would bite like hell and never step up, the two lutinos would never step up at all and wanted nothing to do with me, but then again they had each other..
