    please answer my question please

    hi my name is Liz and i live in Australia a few weeks ago i got an african grey(congo)and he bites me!he wont step up but will be scatched and bite when hes had enough,he bites unprovoked
    i have looked at many picture my grey is ment to be just 5 months old today yet his eyes have double rings!
    have i been ripped off into getting an older african grey,would that explain the odd behavior he has?
    i am a mum of a 2 year old male ecky and have never had any issues with him,im pretty well knowledge on bird handling but he seems set in his way please help!

    Try treating him with big chunks of hard molded leather...it helps with their aggression..

    My grey is very tame but still bites once in a while. They are still wild animals and need to be treated with that caution and respect.

    Re:bting african grey

    i was really worried about Albie biting me then i emailed maggie wright and she gave me a few tips,like using the walnuts he loves so much as a reward and a reward ONLY from me and no other family members,and guess what........yes i havent been bitten by Albie for 5 days and......he also will now step up onto my hand great progress from a lovely boy

    This is a 2 1/2 year old thread and that user never posted since then.
    Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O. Eckland, "Footprints On Clouds"

    Dayo in flight....
