Another, 'wouldn't this hurt?' thread

Well, there's no blood so I'd say no. Looks like a love peck. If one of those things really bit you, you'd be in serious trouble. I've been bitten by one of those grey red-tail ba$tards over at a friends house 10 years ago. U can still see the scar now.
And he didn't even talk.
 
true Nick, a Macaw can easily remove fingers from an adult hand if'n it felt the need or want...

BUT, a properly hand trained and domesticated parrot would be just touching a person... feeling the little fleshy bits. My old Ivory Conure use to nibble my nose and ears all the time.

I cannot believe it died over 20 years ago :(

the last few visits, I've been becoming friendly with a Sun Conure at the local shop.
