Hello!, Thanks for the advice on nail trimming; I am getting Lucy a sandy perch to avoid having to clip her nails often. You were all correct about the good opportunity for Lucy and my husband getting a little closer while I was away; when I came back, they were doing much better. Now she is getting more confident everyday, at home, and wants more and more time out of the cage, every time she sees us around.

Hello again. I just want to give a little update of how things are going with baby Lucy, for those that may be having similar problem. It looks like slowly she is getting better with my husband. Still not as comfortable as with me, but is responding a little better to him. This week I am out of town for three days,so is just the two of them at home. We'll see how that goes. I have one more question, and I am not sure if I should move this question to a different forum, but since I am here... We took her to the vet on Sunday for her well being check, and the vet clipped her nails. Are they supposed to bleed everytime the get clipped? Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much everybody for responding. I am sure My husband will keep trying, since it seems to be a matter of time and he would really like to get close to her. It's really nice to have advice from people with more experience. Sandra902, your favorite store is our favorite store too, since that is where we got our Lucy. Maybe I will see you there sometime.

Thank you very much for your advice. I guess we just need to give her some more time, but for some reason she seems very afraid of my husband and wants to bite him if he gets close. Hopefully she'll learn to trust him. Her name is Lucy, and I am sure I will be coming to this forum a lot for good advice and tips from the experienced people. Thanks a lot.

Hello all, I am a new owner of a baby African grey, with no experience with any birds before. My husband and I brought her home last Sunday and she seems to be adapting very well, although she does not like my husband getting close to her, even if he is being trying hard. Is there any advice anybody can give me on how to make her trust him as she seems to be trusting me?. I would think if he does not get her trust now, that she is little, it may be harder later? By the way, I think this web site is great. Thank you
