i would like to thank everyone for their helpfull advice i know we have only had charlie for a very short period and it was our mistake that made charlie lose his confidance in my wife, although he has not made any progress (yet) he has got worse as now he wont even accept food from my wife nicely now we will try many things and fingers crossed we will find the 1 way that will rebuild the love and trust that has been lost

i know i have posted this in other rooms but i have been advised thisis the best room to ask for advice..... hi my name is darren i have recently become the proud owner of a tag (charlie) i call him my rescue tag when i went to see him he was locked in his cage all the time with no interaction with anyone. although im new to owning a grey even i knew this was no good he had started plucking and was not a happy grey, at that moment i knew i was taking him home he now has pride of place in our dinning room (the main thoroughfare) and has my daughter wake him up every morning with a very excited 'morning charlie boy' things started progressing really quick he was stepping up (didnt draw too much blood) then we made a mistake and let the previous owner visit i was not at home but the wife was it turned out to be a huge mistake cause now charlie really doesnt like my wife, but we are working on rebuilding the trust and love that was lost. since i have last posted things have got worse and he now doesnt even take food off her nicely now please help me

i will give you a little background when i went to go see charlie he was in a small room on his own with no interaction and by what i could figure out he very rarely came out his cage he had started plucking his feathers. since he has been with us he is in the kitchen (main thorough fare in our house) my daughter takes the cover off him every morning with a very excited 'morning charlie boy' when i am home he has his cage open all the time. and in answer to the previous post hell no their will be no more visits from the previous owner. anymore advice is welcome and very grateful

thanks im so at a loss my wife loves him to pieces and like i said to start with he was great but now he is so aggresive towards her. we are both prepared to give it time and take it slow

i recently purchased a tag (charlie) approx 4 months ago to start with everything was great he started to settle in, stopped plucking and i was shocked how fast he was coming to me and my wife then the former owner got in touch with me and asked for the carrier back that i brought him home in, i had no problem with that and as i was at work she went round to my house as the wife was at home as she was their she wanted to check on charlie my wife took her in to see him when charlie made a screech then things started going wrong now charlie cant stand my wife any time he is near her her runs at her he has really gone off her he is fine with me and if im there he does back off but we have tried allsortsto get him to like her again but nothing seems to work he is just getting worse we need help can anyone please suggest anything thanks in advance
