How To Teach Your Parrot Bird To Stop Biting
Learning how to teach your parrot bird not to bite is one of the most important skills for a pet parrot owner. However it takes a lot of time and commitment. Given the right circumstances, parrots can learn a lot of things because they are intelligent birds. Repetition will teach your bird to stop biting and your friends and family will enjoy its presence. Where there are children, it is really necessary that your parrot adapts to the surroundings and not bite anyone because the beak can really hurt little fingers.
One of the main reasons why parrots behave this way may be that they are being left alone by themselves for far too long. This causes them to become withdrawn and would retaliate when approached. Socialize your parrot by introducing it to your family members, friends and even to your other pets to build confidence of being in the company of others. It is natural instincts for a parrot to cause hurt when it feels that its territory is being threatened by strangers. With adequate time, your bird will settle down and feel at home.
As an alternative, give your parrot a toy to nibble at. There are plenty of toys available specifically for parrots to bite. Ask a pet shop owner for recommendations. If the bird refuses to let go of your fingers, give it a blow on its face as a sign that you disapproves of the bird biting you. Do this over and over again each time this happens and your pet bird will get the message.
Verbally tell your parrot 'no' and place the bird back in its cage as a form of punishment. Cover the cage and leave it alone for some time. The parrot, being an intelligent bird, will sense that it is being disciplined.
Observe your bird's behaviour. African Grey parrots, especially, are temperamental and if you find that your parrot is moody, leave it alone. Just like humans, there are times when it needs to be by itself and not be forced to learn new tricks. Be sensitive to your bird and the biting can be stopped.
Take your parrot to new surroundings for a change, such as different rooms in the house, the balcony or outside on the lawn. Imagine being at the same location all the time, your parrot will lose it sense of balance. Let it enjoy new company and breathe new air. It is also a good idea to take your parrot for a drive. In adapting to different environments, your parrot will become less defensive and unlikely to protect itself by hurting others.
Lookout for mood changes, frustrations and irritations in your bird and avoid coming close to it when this happens. Let the bird overcome this behaviour with time. When your parrot hurts you on the finger, try not to show any reaction because it may do that again just to see the same reaction from you. Gently remove yourself from the situation. Do not retaliate by shaking the bird.

What can your bird/parrot say or what noises can he/she make?
My quaker parrot, Yoshi, can say f*** you, make the noise from the Grudge, whistle, make kiss noises, and other things. What can your bird say? What else should I teach him to say?
My amazon has an amazing collection of phraes he always uses at the right moment to make us laugh, or at least let our jaw drop. haha Here are some of my favorites:
~Be nice!
~Come here Come here
~Shut up
~I love you
~Pretty Bird Joe (his name is Joey)
~Hello there
~Home run! /Strikeout!(We watch a lot of baseball, and he's been around for many many games lol at age 20 something)
~Stop that
~What? (yes we ask him something and he will reply "What??!"
~Can you say hi?
~Good night
~Erica (my name) and Alex (my brother) which is how he calls us.
~See ya later
He mimicks a phone ringing, and also has an evil laugh (like a muhahahaha) He normally will say come here come here or make the phoen sound and when you come running he does his evil laugh as if to say "I got ya that time!" new guests are very very prone to being mistreated this way lol
The lovebird Huey does mimick jingle bells, but doens't talk.
Gizmo the gold capped conure mumbled something last week, and i have heard her say shut up before. But I don't think she will learn to talk, and that is ok with me.
Yoshi could learn to say hello, how are you, Yes I can talk can you fly?, or mimick animal sounds. Quakers usually learn to tlak so just exposehim to different things and eventually he will pick them up. Most quakers also leanr to say their name.
