I will get some picture's thanks all for replies its been 5 days on and he has made so much progress all ready i dont go up to him as oftern and respect his space in return he lets me head rub him a lot without biting. Also now when he does bite its not hard at all. I am well pleased. Im ready for the next stage soon which is getting him on my hand Tanks all Tony.

Thanks again for the re asurrance he is certaintly not afraid to come out of the cage and does come up onto my hand after a lot of persuasion i have found he likes monkey nuts so i am getting him to come out and eat the nuts on my hand he likes that but if i go to give him a head rub he moves away or bites.

thanks all for your quick replies, I just think i am expecting things to be to easy. I just dont want to think that i'v bought a young baby who is going to grow up nasty or do most babies act like this?

Hi All, Firstly id like to say hello. I have been after an african grey for a long time now and finally last weak i brought one from a bird store. His name is Charlie and to begin with when i got him home for a 14 week old baby he bit quite oftern and quite hard. I reasured him and settled him down and said "No Charlie" when he bit and this seamed to have worked. He would come up onto my hand and out of the cage and he would let me stroke his head and he would sit on my shoulder and let me stroke him head to tail. I thought all was going well but as a few days went on he has become more aggresive and wont let people near him or his cage without going to bite fingers and hands.I have to admit he does not bite as hard as the first few days but he is not as soft as what he was. Am i expecting to much to early? He will stand on my fingers and arm to feed thats not a problem its just when i try to get him out of his cage and stoke him he gets angry and bites. Any Suggestions guys or tips for a 15 week old CAG p.s he hates his toys i put in.
