It probably wont bite although it could. Anything with teeth or fangs can bite.  My avic is so gentle its hard to remember that she isnt a cuddly pet. She is even gentle when taking her food. I think with time and experience you will grow less afraid of them and istead replace the fear with admiration and a healthy respect.  Im pretty sure i could do just about anything to my avic and she wouldnt bite me. I dont though. they dont have a need to be held or cuddled but i have a feeling after saving this Ts life you will start to see him/her a little differently. My wife hates spiders and insects and even she has warmed up to my T to the point where she will say something like "awww looj how cute she is the way she walks around her enclosure."</p></blockquote><p></p>
