I tried to do just that with my husband. From the time we brought him home we both tried working with him. He would let me past him to my husband and he would step up on his finger and stay for a little while but then make every effort to get back to me. I would even try to leave the room so he wouldn't see me but that didn't work. He would at the beginning step up on my husband finger he if was walking around on the floor under our supervision. Then forget it. Everytime my husband walks by the cage Echo will lunge at him. I just can't remember the last time my husband tried to handle him but Echo bit him so hard he drew blood. When my neighbors come over they will walk slowly over to his cage and speak to him in a soft and gentle tone. Forget it he goes crazy and clings to the sides of his cage. I am really at my wits end. I am so afraid he will hurt himself flying off me, off his cage or play station when someone walks anywhere near him. Please help me help this little guy.

He was very timid from the start. I purchased him from a breeder at a bird show in Orlando, FL. He would not come out of his cage (it was really small) and she had to work really hard for him to finally come out. We walked outside so it wouldn't be so noicy. She passed him over to me, sat on my chest and that was it. He would not go back to her no matter how hard she tried. I had to take him back inside and tried to put him back in his cage. He would not go in and I was afraid of hurting him so I placed him on the top. He kept trying to get back on me. There was no question, he wanted me and no one else. When we got him home and I put him in his new home( much, much, larger cage) the little guy didn't even know how to sit on the perchs and really didn't know how to get around the cage. He kept falling down. After a few days he got much better and now is a pro. But he has always been afraid but would not fly off me. Now he is getting worst and taking flight. I really am concerned.

My Timneh grey is alittle over a year old. He is afraid of everything and everybody. I love having him with me but if I am carrying him on my hand and my husband, friends, relatives anyone walks by he takes flight. I had him at our vet's just the other day for his wings and feet. He was just sitting there on my hand when the tech came over towards him and he flew down and cut his chest. This was the first time he really hurt himself. I am so afraid now that he will really get hurt. Does anyone having any ideas on what I can do to help this little guy overcome his fears.
