Hey everyone,
I have a greenwing macaw named Jacko and he lives with me and no one else. He is quite affectionate and allows me to touch him and scratch him with no issues, until my kids come over for the weekend.
When my daughter who is 10 years old comes over to stay you can tell he likes her and gets excited and his eyes start pinning and allows her to scratch him when he isn’t on his cage.
however if I try to give him a scratch he starts to bite me quite hard and doesn’t allow me to scratch him in the way he does when it’s just me and him.
Do you know why this is? And when he bites me it really hurts and he just isn’t like he is when my kids are not here.
TIA
