thanks for all your replies. they have helped me from getting angry and keeping my patience by understanding what he has been through. i feel that since yesterday there has been little improvement interms of he allow me to walk past him without him running off. unusually he is now fine with the other members of the family which he wasnt before. will keep posting on updates and hopefully one day he will be fine.

hi, i have had my african grey for a year now and before i bought him his wings were not clipped properly. his wings were clipped too short to the extent where they were not growing. so i was told to individually pluck them out. as cruel as this may sound i felt i needed to do it in order for the grey to regain its flight. it has been some months now since they were plucked and now they are regrowing to the stage where he can fly a few feet before he crash lands on the floor. However the problem is that from yesterday he has become very fightened of me and growls loundly but does not bite. he runs to the other side of the cage whenever i stand up, call or even look at him.i have not hurt him in anyway since his wings were plucked and since then up untill yesterday he had been himself, playful and interacting with myself. any ideas on why such a change in behaviour or suggestions on what to do. many thanks.
