He bit me!!

As with all my birds my Green Cheek Conures are getting tamer with time as they get used to my daily appearance in the cage. They have been coming down almost grabing the fresh fruit or vegies out of my hand each day. Today however one swooped down a bit my thumb knuckle as a placed some carrot down and drew blood.

I expect to get bitten when catching birds or in the case of "Nippet" my hand raised Indian Ringneck around mating/nesting times but this totally caught me off gaurd.

Hopefully I can turn this lack of fear into being able to handle them possible while feeding rather than just an all out attack each time.
