Getting high with Remus Lupin at 3 am is probably the best and worst decision you've ever made. That man high is the equivalent of a puppy.

Hes so cute and cuddly but then he also bites. You think hes being all sweet and hugging you and burying his head into your neck then suddenly hes chomping down and you're shoving him off to see him smiling as if he did nothing wrong. Like this guy doesn't get normal munchies no his craving is you

I know you’ve mentioned toto drawing blood recently and it’s made me wonder: what are you supposed to do you when your bird bites you? It’s not like you can just set them down and walk away (at least not in my case, he will immediately fly back to me). I’ve been trying really hard to pay attention to body language and reduce hormonal triggers to try and prevent them more in the first place, but it’s left me wondering what I should be doing in the immediate moment.

much love to the husbirbs!

It varies on the scenario, species, and resources available

The biggest priority when dealing with a bite is safety - don't just leave your hand there waiting for them to calm down (worlds worst tidbit of outdated information), be proactive in getting yourself to safety. For most birds you can curl your hand in to a fist and present the back of your hand to use like a shield as there's no loose skin to grab on to and swiftly remove yourself from the situation. If they're on you grabbing your neck/ arm/ wherever depending on the intensity of the bite you may be able to just peel them off with a perch or use a high value treat lure/ well known behaviour to redirect them off of you. With birds that latch on and don't let go you want to move your hand in towards them to cause them to release their grip so you can get out, if they're on you biting what they're standing on you can use an object to tap the top of their head which typically triggers them to release and latch on to the other object while you pry them off.

A key thing to keep in mind is that once a bite has happened the damage is already done, there's no point trying to make a big deal out of the moment or apply more fear/ punishers to the situation. If we make a big deal out of a bite and tell them 'no gentle!, bad bird!" etc. you're drawing a lot of attention to the bite which can either cause them to be focused on it and be more likely to repeat it, cause them to feel more threatened, or your addition of noises/ arm movements can be interpreted as entertaining which can cause the bird to begin to fake aggression just to get a reaction. If we apply punishers, yell, or otherwise add more stress after the bite we're just confirming to them that we were in fact scary and that the bite was warranted, causing them to be more hesitant towards us in the future and potentially be more likely to use biting as a primary form of communication.

The bite having happened has occurred because something was triggering enough to cause it, they experienced whatever they were feeling and felt that a bite was necessary to alleviate it. A behaviour we don't want was practiced, the feelings they experienced have been associated with us, from this point on we want to make sure we can undo what they've just learned.

Each bird, each trigger, and each emotion behind a bite will all warrant different approaches following it.

If the bite occurred and you're feeling really distraught and emotionally unregulated it's best to prioritize that - if you need to cage them or just shut them in a room for a couple minutes so you can catch your breath and regain control then absolutely do that. There's nothing you can add to this situation by being impulsive or struggling yourself.

If the bird is lunging, hissing or clearly distressed by your attempts to remedy the situation then take a step back and give them a break. Continuing to trigger them will only make them ingrain those emotions with you even more, they need to be under threshold to be able to make new, happier, connections.

Next goal after getting yourself safe is to have a couple moments of neutrality. Ideally getting them on to a perch and just standing a couple steps away, no eye contact, body angled away from them, head tipped down, hands out of sight, remaining pretty still and quiet. This is a moment for both parties to breathe after the event, regulate emotions, realize they're safe, and reset. If they keep trying to get at you aggressively it may be best to leave entirely, if they're trying to get at you because they're more comfortable on you than the perch you can try a different spot, try standing closer, try being lower than their perch, try moving their perch up higher if you're not comfortable with them on you at that time. I like to use my knees for these situations, just sit down with my knees up so the bird can sit on me but be somewhere I can easily control if they aggress again. You can also utilize thick coats and gloves to help you mentally feel a bit better.

After that moment to breathe and reset you progress depending on the bird and the trigger. In some cases offering tasty treats can help them form new associations with you - in others the aggression was triggered by excitement so adding more exciting food to the situation can trigger it again. For some talking to them calmly can be a safe way to reengage with them, announce peace between the two and be able to progress - for others any vocalization may be interpreted as you being more confrontational. For some just sitting quietly near one another can reset the situation and cause them to realize it wasn't threatening - for others the continuous silence can cause them to stew in their feelings and retaliate. For some just remove the trigger from the situation and they'll regulate again, you can work on desensitizing that trigger another day - for some there isn't an easy clear cut trigger so you now get to evaluate what just happened and try to isolate it while monitoring your own body language extremely closely.

The main goal is to help them no longer feel like biting is necessary, achieving emotional regulation, form new positive associations, and isolate/ prevent the trigger from occurring again. Biting is a symptom of a bigger problem, and treating the root problem is going to be the most effective way to get long term solutions to that biting.
