I am doing just as you sugeest.. already-Zulu doesnt pick on their hand lightly-he is drawing blood. YEs he is very clever already-at 15 weeks old. amazing.I see so much intelligence its scary-way smarter than our umbrella cockatoo-although she is a gentle giant. we never had trouble with her.

I will check out the link..thanks.. we are all very in tune with Zulus body language... and noises... he tells them to get away and stay away-ALL THE TIME...(unless Ashley is going to formula feed him) I am not sure why.. He is most definitely exploring with his beak, as we do with our hands.. he does that all the time.. this is an attack. HOW do you teach a bird to not bite.. besides only changing your tone, and saying NO BITE. That is NOT working. Thanks for teh reply!! I appreciate it!!

Actually my 14 yr old is a girl.. very calm and quiet. As I said before.. they can formula feed him, but if I am anywhere near he lunges and attacks the kids. I am wondering the best way to "discipline" the biting. I realize punishment is not an answer.. discipline is just the word I am using. I know you do not punish him to his cage, hit a bird, etc.. but what tips do people have to stop the biting.

We have a 15 week old Grey-who we have had since he was 14 days. he has suddenly started attacking our 14 and 12 year old. they have been very involved in his raising, formula feeding him, etc.... suddenly he has turned on them not sure why. he will lunge and screech at them, and bite as hard and fierce as he can. yet when the 14 year old feeds him.. he is lovable. i notice it nore when I am in teh room, so i think he is bonding more with me. how do i stop this behavior, before it gets out of hand

WE have just brought home a baby Congo African Grey-anyone have any good plans on building a brooder box? his owner was ill-so we had to take over baby-and he is only 2 weeks old-we are keeping hem in temp comtrolled room of 88 degrees0feedings every 3 hours-we are experienced bird people-hand fed a umbrella cockatoo
