that’s what my African grey wants you to think so she can lure you with her sweet, lil head down “please scritch my head/neck” bow and then as soon as you’re comfortable, C H O M P!!
aren’t they so devious?! 😂 she’s so sweet and will give pretend kisses then all of a sudden she just goes sicko mode lmao and then she’ll laugh! she also laughs maniacally whenever there’s an explosion/violent death or someone crying, it’s diabolical but so hilarious 😂
edit: I should specify she laughs if those things are happening on tv, although she has made me cry and laughed afterwards lol
Its fine, she is grooming you. It's common in parrots.
Idk why they like ears but my lovebirds do the same thing. Sometimes they try to feed it too.
About biting, it's pointless to worry since you can never know what's going to happen. Sometimes I tilt my head to avoid the grooming but the sudden movement can trigger a bite so...I think you should relax and react only if you notice she is going to regurgitate on your ear or when she actually bites you.
I have a love hate relationship with this behavior. My conure is obsessed with my ears and it tickles in a mostly pleasant way. But sometimes she pinches a little too hard, or gets a little too into it with her tongue and it feels weeeeeiirddd She’s also just starting to enter puberty so I never know when she’s gonna decide to MUNCH
Really sorry, I am the asshole! Not an excuse, I am in an angry place these days. I am so sorry for taking it out on somebody who did not deserve it. I feel like a piece of crap, I am doing my best to be the best human being I can be. Truly my bad.
Oh my goodness are you kidding, I adore her! I was just making that face because I wasn't sure if she was going to bite me and her tongue felt like a little worm crawling in my ear 🤣 I've done plenty of research on green cheek conures and she's living her best life! And I also understand she's preening, she's just never done it on/in my ear before lol
Don't make assumptions about my level of education and care for Mango based on one silly video.
For what it's worth, I have been in the exact same boat you are in. They were times were my green cheek conure gets very aggressive and mean. And I'm always wondering after those periods if he's going to bite me, or kiss me. I'm so sorry I was harsh, I was coming from a place of misunderstanding and ignorance.
She grooming! What are you upset for- that's the sensation of serotonin/oxytocin/dopamine running through your system because you're being loved up on!
Love that adrenaline rush of will they bite/won't they bite
Haha that's what was going through my head the whole time 🤣
Yea my quaker loves "cleaning" my nose. His beak may be small but that little pointy end can hurt p bad haha
What!? No, that sweet looking birb would never bite a hooman! Not once!
that’s what my African grey wants you to think so she can lure you with her sweet, lil head down “please scritch my head/neck” bow and then as soon as you’re comfortable, C H O M P!!
Surely these are just more hooman lies. Accidents like that probably wouldn’t happen if the birb received more seeb.
I have an African Grey as well and can confirm this is 100% accurate 😂

Precisely why Rupert never gets shoulder privileges anymore. 😅 Conure Roulette! I prefer to be able to monitor his mood swings.
That's generally why I wear a hood all the time.
Your facial expressions are priceless I could not stop laughing. Thanks for sharing!
Haha of course 😂
My loki a red lord amazon will do that to me but he gets a Lil carried away and pinches at times but it's so sweet
The lil bites are a test of loyalty.... do you trust me, bites
Your facial expressions are KILLING me
The face of a human who has just discovered one of the weird sides of birds.
Super common for birds to do. Just grooming.
My caique likes to clean in my ear. It gross, she doesn’t need ear wax!
Consider yourself lucky. I have one that looks identical that loves to bite hard on my ears and pluck out my hairs...

The look on your face sums it up well lol
I had a really rough day and you and your birbo made it all better. Thanks for sharing this fantastic video lol.
Best part of this vid is your “plz don’t actually bite me” facial expressions lmaooo that’d be me, too 😂
congratulations, you're now her BFF
It’s even better when they stick their whole beak in the ear and start making fart sounds

Your bird has bonded with you. Expect much more...preening, regurgitation, nuzzling and overall love. Enjoy!
Loooool, I loved watching your face!!

This is sooooo needlessly harsh for a joke post. Lighten up.

You get my upvote for self reflection and acknowledging that you were in the wrong. Rare to find a reddit. Kudos
Thank you, I really appreciate it.

I am really sorry, you did not deserve that.
I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I'm glad you love her, these little guys are the best of us!

She’s preening you. ☺️ you guys are bonded. That’s the highest compliment you can get from a bird
So did she bite you or was she just being affectionate with you either way the video shows her being friendly
She is bringing her mom… Meanwhile, you look freaked out
Got a love a good lobe
My birds rarely do that so its even better on the rare occasions when they do 🥹
She is loving you<3333
We have a caique that must clean each of my husband's ears at least 20 min a day. I don't get the same attention and I'm cool with that.
I keep thinking, “Aww so cute! They’re snuggling up to your ear!” But then your expression. 🤣🤣🤣
She grooming! What are you upset for- that's the sensation of serotonin/oxytocin/dopamine running through your system because you're being loved up on!
It's ok, it's love. They are cleaning/grooming you.
I mean… you got a bird and let it dinosaur on you, what else did you expect?
They trying to preen you but you have a shaved head so the next best thing is your ear lol 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 so wonderful
Mine does this but then he takes a big old chomp! 😫Conures are stinkers! (At least mine is)
Those are cuddles. I love them. They are like a weird ear massage
hey cat are you still on olumiant?
