Avoid the bite Although birds may talk, their biggest form of communication is body language, and they are more up front than many people give them credit for. Most bites can be attributed to a bird warning someone to "B- ack off!" or "Not right now" when approached. The bird may be "protecting" its cage or playgym (being territorial), or it simply wants to be left alone. According to Mattle Sue Athan, author of Guide To A Well-Beh- aved Companion, most parrots give at least three clues that they intend to bite: First, the bird will look at what it is about to bite; then, it well open its beak, and finally, if it is a larger bird, it will spread its legs apart for a firmer grip on whatever it is perched on - or if it is a smaller bird, it will charge that which it is intending to bite. 一月号的bird talk里的一小段，这篇文章全文很长，不过我想这段应该蛮实用的啦。 --
