I would just keep taking her off you and putting her where you want her to be and give a word que. Like stay. lol When my birds are young or first come here they all had to learn to stay on the play gym and not fly to the floor and wonder around. So when they jumped off I picked them back up with as little to-do as possible and say no. Put them back and say stay. After I get tired of doing that I usually put them back in the cage tell I am ready to play fetch with them again. Most of the time only takes about a week even with my older birds it didn't take long. Good luck

Toweling is something all birds should learn is not a bad thing. You never know what you may need to do this. I can towel all my birds without chasing them. Some have learned to like it even. Are they housed in the same cage? If so he may be feeling his hormones even at his young age and until you have them both as tame as you like for them to be I would have them in their own cages and also have their own outtime. Does he have his wings clipped? It won't "fix" the problem but it can calm a bird down long enough to learn step up's and they well grow back if you want a flighted bird. Good luck

Since you have not had him long and he needs a avian vet check up anyways. I would just have him looked at.

What kind of test has the avain vet ran for you? Have you tried red palm oil I have heard great things about that. Just got some myself for my plucked quaker. It also suppose to make feathers look better too. Unfortantly if he has been doing it to long it may never completely stop.

lol Patience your Grasshopper.

I made it bigger but it destorted it. Does this help any? Any bigger and it really looks bad.

Wow have you taken on a handful. She is very pretty and I wish you luck.

I know something like this may of been done before but we have new members and I don't want to dig it up. And I know we always touch on this in many of the post but how about we do it again for the new people for people thinking of getting a grey. lol Anyways here is my Que a TAG. My Que is very much her own bird. She prefers to be left alone in the cage or on the play gym. The only toy she really plays with is her jolly ball. But think it is more mating behavior. She gets in it and chews on the ropes and digs. She has yet to lay an egg so I well let her keep it as long as it is not a problem. She likes to watch. If I am in the living room near the cage, reading a book or working on some crochet she gets as close as she can and really checks out what I am doing. She well even come out of the cage with no fuss at these times to watch me. When she is out on her play stand she tends to watch the dogs or the fish tanks which ever is closest. Really hard. She looks like she is thinking. "What is that and how does it fit in my world?" She has only spoken to me a couple times but she does talk just when she is alone in the cage and thinks I am not around. My newest bird Topaz talks a lot and Que seems to talk more often now with her around but not much. She is not a morning bird but prefers her out of cage time to be in the evening. Which is a little harder to manage cause that is when hubby is home and he walks around the house like he owns the place (oh wait he does. lol) never checking to see where anyone/pet is. So I have to wait till he settles down so she does not get out as often as I would like but she seems happy with the arrangement. Que rarely gets excited but once or twice a week she well hang from the top of the cage flap her wings and scream at the top of her lungs. Even after all these years she well fall from the perch from time to time. Mostly at night. Sometimes this happens when she is tring to climb around on the jolly ball. Its round and not aways a place to grab. She well let me know real quick if she does not want out of her cage. She well grab my finger in her beak and push away. If I persist she well grab harder and push harder. lol I am a smart human and don't push it. She likes to try whatever I am eating. She don't always like it and well let me know by slinging it as far as she can. She is a great bird despite it all. lol So human like with moods swings, likes and dislikes. Yes it is like having a four year old forever. Cause they never grow up. But that is part of her charm.

lol Yes it well be used for the next contest.
