I am saddened greys are biting. I get parrots being upset, confused, wanting things to go differently... but biting??? So sad for those just wanting to provide a healthy safe home for these guys. I've always heard the falcon gloves work. Maybe not. A grey bite can really hurt, injure and scar.

Alfie doesn't waste any time! No, Snickers is more the toss stuff one piece out at a time sort of parrot. And with white rice, I think he just picks around the 'wrong' kind. He actually ate a good portion of the 'wrong' rice yesterday -- it's taken him long enough to try it.

I'm glad you seem to have found something that's working! I can't touch Alfie anywhere except on the head and back of his neck but only when he allows it. He has to put his head down before I can go anywhere near him or I will definitely get bitten. Same for anyone else. I can sometimes get the bottom of his foot if he puts it up at the side of the cage- but I have to be very aware of what he is doing because he'll take exception to that and try and bite sometimes too.

Alfie has dumped the entire contents of his food bowl because I dared to put something new in his bowl - no matter how small! 😂 He ALWAYS knows when I'm trying to be sneaky with his food and trying to convince him to eat something new.
