Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / April 2004Teil Interested in teeth
My bird has this habbit of going after my mouth and if I don't open my mouth he pecks at my face till I open my mouth and let him pick at my teeth. It is almost like he is brushing my teeth for me. I was wondering if anyone else has run it this along the way with their teil? Probably looking for food or attracted to shiny fillings. Mine always check out my mouth when I'm eating something. As I understand it, human mouth bacteria is not suitable for 'tiels so I would discourage this practice. Is your 'tiel particularly young? > My bird has this habbit of going after my mouth and if I don't open my > mouth he pecks at my face till I open my mouth and let him pick at my > teeth.

O.K., thank you for your feedback and my teil is about 1 and a half years old. So yea he is pretty young. > My bird has this habbit of going after my mouth and if I don't open my > mouth he pecks at my face till I open my mouth and let him pick at my > teeth.

Human mouths are full of microorganisms that can make your bird ill... so, find your bird some other way to entertain himself.

O.K., thanks. All my birds have tried to do this. I think they are basically trying to engage in preening behavior on you and you have no feathers. Also your mouth is bigger than his head so of course it looks like an interesting cave. As others have said, not good from the standpoint of germs though, you should discourage him. mm > >> My bird has this habbit of going after my mouth and if I don't open my > >> mouth he pecks at my face till I open my mouth and let him pick at my [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >find your bird some other way to entertain himself. > O.K., thanks. My Cockatiel used to the same when he was younger. He has grown out of it now though. > My bird has this habbit of going after my mouth and if I don't open my > mouth he pecks at my face till I open my mouth and let him pick at my > teeth.

I just leave mine out on the table at night for him to play with. He does a good job and I don't have to pay for all those little tablets to soak them.

Mine likes to groom my moustache 3 or 4 times, and then she's satisfied. |
