Oh, now *that* sounds painful. Those birds have quite a grip, I'm told. Luckily Finnegan was just playing with mine, so it was relatively easy to pry him away from it and cover it up.
actually, I had a friend who had the same kind of parrot I did (jendaya conure) she had a large mole on her neck..Parrots tend to groom thier owners, especially if they are very close them. Enlil used to groom my eyebrows and lashes, and even tried to stick her beak up my nose and clean my nose and in my mouth! (she could have been a great dental hygenist if I'd let her!) Linda's parrot was grooming her one day and reached that mole and SNIP, off it came! Linda rushed ot the doctor, he stitched it up and said the parrot did a neater job of it than he could of, but he really didn't recommend it for her other moles, lol!!! Her parrot probably though it was some type of insect attached to her and removed it, it was grooming after all!
I've kittens nurse on my earlobes and pull out an earring once too, lol!!
