Joe, any updates on Eddie?
I wonder if a Time Out from Positive Reinforcement might work. What I did was if one of my birds nipped me when I was interacting with them, I would turn my back for 30 seconds (no more than this) and then turn around and give them the chance to do it right. You might be surprised at how quickly this will work.

What have you been doing, Joe? Explain what working with him on a daily basis means?
If your problem with him is biting, clipping him will just present more problems because you will have to carry him from place to place, will you not?
I can see you are discouraged, Joe and that's natural but trust me, ABA will work. It's not even a maybe, it is the law of behaviour.

We all have those days, Joe. How big are the banana chips you give him? You give him a whole banana chip for "not grabbing the food dish from your hand, another for allowing you to scratch his head". Is this correct?
Can you tell me again what his daily diet consists of?
I'm just trying to figure out if satiation is a problem here.

Nikki was physically abused in her first home Joe. Animals don't live in the past. Yes, they carry baggage but I believe by utilizing ABA effectively, we can move past that.
Can you make those pieces smaller? Can you tell me what you feed him every day?

And if you put all those things in a bowl, what would he eat first or second, Joe?

Could you offer them in a SS bowl so he doesn't have access to your fingers?
Eddie is just misunderstood. LOL
