Little assassins , they are vicious when they want to be. and I've had the pleasure of living with a cockatoo who was far more gentle!
Germ":2q2ek34u said:One thing to keep in mind when handling your BD, is how you pick it up. Approach it slowly with the back of your hand, giving it nothing to latch onto. When you do pick it up, slide your hand under it's Belly, give full support to it's Belly & Tail, you will find they do not like being picked up by gripping it's sides.
For those that think BDs don't bite hard, here is a pic of an adult BD bite ...
No, that is not my thumb. But it resulted from the handler holding his BD & it jumped out of his hands, trying to catch it, the handler missed it's body but caught it by the tail, the dragon whipped around & tagged him. Definitely handler error, but shows the possible severity of a BD bite.
