Thank you so much for your replies.. dave use to go to my 12 year old and my 6 year old as i finished of the hand rearing of him.. as he has got older i dont let my 6 year old handle him..and he doesnt fly onto her either, my 12 year old who loved him now cant go near him as he is going to bite him..he actually hasnt bitten me as in to hurt me, but everyone else he has made bleed.. i can read him and when he is on me if i feel him stiffen up i take him back to his perch, i am so worried he isnt going to stop this, its so upsetting as you feel like its your own fault... im really findin this hard i want my old bird back lol.. the nice tempered one.. kt x

thank yu for your replies.. yes his routine did change over christmas as i had family staying... also because of the biting he has been in the cage longer than he normally would have as the kids are now very nervous of him..so i am now trying to set a new routine for him that will be stuck too, and see how we go.. thanks for making me welcome Kt x

Hi I have a 9 month old african grey (Dave) who has been a delight til now. he has started biting for wot seems to be no apparent reason.. this is really upsetting as no one wants him on them anymore they are now scared of him... i try to keep up routine but its really hard when he is drawing blood not to react.. i really dont get wot im doing wrong..but would like to say hi and i will prob find the answer on the site... typical of me to jump in feet first but just need some advice to get my boy back! thanks for listening to me..
