Hi Ryan! Very kind of you to find a time for answering) Unfortunately I'm out of home from 9 to 20.Because of this fact I worry that I waste a lot of useful time for taming my bird( The breeder who has sold me a bird suggest to wait for a while. He proposes to be near bird's cage reading books or watching TV.He insists not doing anything further until bird stop creaking or screaming, disturbing in other ways. At the current time when I approach near bird's cage to change feed Grey starts worrying.Sometimes bird stays on its perch and looks at me.Hope that is a progress))) The breeder also proposes some interesting method of taming.So I'd like to share with you in order to know your opinion. Here is method. Choose a small room such as small bathroom, f.e.Must be less subjects there and looks like empty room absolutely. Close all holes etc.to avoid parrot hiding there. Use gloves to escape biting or be carefull without them. You should have pocket flashlight focusing straight to the object without dispersing. Deliver bird to this small dark room in towel or in cage.Let bird falling on the floor. Switch on flashlight just to see birds legs. Trying to seat bird down on your hand.Switch off light for a while to make bird used to. Switch light on.Bird will try to jump down the floor. Switch light off and repeat.Do it during an hour at least.The aim is to make bird calm seating on your hand. So that is brief explanation. The breeder insists that it works effectively. From my opinion this is dangerous method and can meke bird very fearful.May be I'm wrong. What do you think about this? Sorry for my English - this is not my native languege.

Hi FairY! I've looked through several forums from this site. All your comments are brief. Suppose to me you're very strict teacher. Anyway I would be grateful if you advise me some useful links which are the best by your opinion.

Hi everybody! I got Grey after all:)Happy enough!But... I'm new on this site and with such parrot as well. Anybody who is able to give good advise welcome. My Grey has been living at my home for 2 weeks. He eats everything.He is very calm besides cases of my appearance near by his cage. Briefly... I would be grateful to anybody who could advise me step-by-step methods of handling (domestication) my Grey.
