My cockatiel's name is Bing and she is extremely friendly. She isn't scared of us at all and loves to have a ride on our shoulders. We don't have a cage for her since she doesn't misbehave or anything.

One bad thing. She loves to bite eat peoples skin!!!

My friend's skin she eats, my skin, my dad's, and more. Like she bites the part on the side of our nails and literally chews it off. It doesn't hurt too much but then later it sort of hurts. WTH? IIN?

    Occupy her. Give her a snack or toy so won't nibble on your skin.

    Lol my gerbil and mouse would eat the hangnails off my fingers whenever I put my hand in their cage. I also had a grasshopper on my hand once do that to me it tickled, I'm thinking they just needed some protein

    Cockatiels are great pets! ^_^

    The skin thing is probably a normal habit for a bird, but I don't think you should allow it to continue if it is causing you pain. You should train it to not do that anymore. Get it one of those special stones that they use their beak on to dull it.
