As with the kamikaze, the pedestrian stalker is duty-bound to defend its territory against interlopers, even if they are the ones who happen to be paying the bills. Humans sharing their home with one of these birds are usually conspicuous by their tendency toward wearing closed-toe shoes and long pants, even in hot weather. Stalkers can be placed in their cages and ignored for 10 minutes or so, before being released to a perch or playgym. With a persistent individual, whenever they are out of the cage it may be necessary to place them on a playgym that is impossible for them to climb down from. Sometimes, this is all that is required in order to stop negative behavior in these little guys.

This time is an important part of the babies' development and it enables them to test their jaw strength. Also, it is not a good idea for parrots to grow up believing that faces, hands and fingers are teething devices. They can touch fingers, hands and faces with their beaks, and even hold parts of them gently, but clamping down needs to be discouraged immediately. Remember that they are babies and do it gently, either by stopping play activities for a minute or two, while looking away, or by offering other, more acceptable toys for them to hold or chew. Never strike a baby bird, even with one finger, or grab the beak and shake it.
