Thank you for you're respons i sure hope someone can help me on this. I have a book "the african grey parrot hand book" that is were i read that they might sometimes become agressive when they sexualy mature. Any way thanks for you're time.

Hi, I'm a new member here & I have a 5 year old grey Meiko. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old, i hand fed and all that stuff. We have always had a pretty good relationship, we have went head to head a couple of times but nothing major. Well that all ended about 4 days ago, i went to get him out of his cage like i have a million times, I put my hand above his feet said step up, he backed up witch he has done before, well this time he did go back alot further, anyway he bit me harder than he has ever bitten before to the point were I wasnt sure if i was going to have to go to the DR. So I was just wondering if maybe someone could give me a little insite. Now I have read that they may be sexualy mature or getting close at age 6, and that they can get agressive at this point.PLEASE can someone help?
