Elliot

Believe is or not, but I have had the cement perch next to his cage for the last two months... I did use the towel method and it was successful after much stress but I really need an extra two hands to limit that stress. Maybe a vet is the answear.

My first post on this forum. A little into, I have 3 birds,a parakeet, cockatiel, and a Timneh african grey parrot; named Elliot. He is about 1 and a half years old, hand raised since he was 3 weeks old. One of the questions is why does he nibble on my fingers when I am holding him? After a while the nibble turns into a soft bite. Another one is, what is the best way to trim his nails? I have done it with clippers before but he didnt like that at all. And he only likes one kind of cement perch and I havent be able to find it anywhere. I have tried other perches but he just freaks out as soon as he sees them. Any ideas? Thanks
