They nibble on food, fingers, and almost anything you put in their cage. You can put a wooden block in your rat's cage for them to chew on. Never put you finger in a very fiesty rat's cage or it will bite you and it will hurt. Badly.

How do you feed a bird?

It all depends on what bird you have, I had a parakeet so there were little buckets that you put in the cage and filled with bird feed. If it is a larger bird you can probably hold it out in your hand, obviously don't do this with small bird feed, but do this with something larger such as a grape. (I only say this because my bird loved grapes) If it is a smaller bird and it is a treat just put it in the cage (try to do this quickly, my bird was nasty and if she saw a hand she would tried to bite you, and she would bite with all of her birdy might!) If it is a humming bird maybe you could put something sweet like honey on your finger. Hope this helps!

You can grab them by the back of the neck (the scruff) than flip them on your hand that makes it impossible for them to bite i know it sounds painful but that's how their mother did it and it will also comfort them
