hi everyone!

i'm new to this but i have a question. im hoping someone out there can help me.

ive had my lovebird gracie for almost 2 years now. her wings are clipped. she has always been pretty feisty. but here lately she has gotton worse. she will only let my brother and i handle her but she even bites us. its not like we are doing anything. out of no where she will chomp.

one day she was sitting on the coffee table and zoie, or dog, walked in and gracie jumped on her and bite the dogs ear! lets just say they dont like eachother.

i just need some guidance. my mom, dad, and grandparents are afraid of her. i want gracie to be sweet and loveable to everyone not just me.

Birds, like people, are not going to like everyone. Dogs and cats are the same way. This is not something you can change so you need to modify the way you interact with Gracie so that you avoid the biting. Lovebird hens are typically nippy and Gracie sounds pretty normal to me!
