Conures are known for their playful and affectionate nature, and one way they express this is by nibbling on their owners. While this behaviour can be endearing, it is important to understand why your conure is nibbling on you and how to respond appropriately.
There are several reasons why your conure may be nibbling on you. One possibility is that they are trying to groom you. In the wild, conures will often groom each other to remove parasites and dirt from their feathers. When they nibble on you, they may be trying to do the same thing. Another possibility is that your conure is trying to communicate with you. Nibbling can be a way for them to express affection, excitement, or even boredom. Finally, your conure may be nibbling on you because they are hungry or thirsty. If your conure is nibbling on you excessively, it is important to take them to the vet to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
