Maiosameru Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I've got a grey that is very territorial of his cage and is starting to bite like crazy. We're expecting a baby in September and want to make sure that he isn't going to lash out at the baby if he tries to pull himself up on the cage..or at least find a way to make this guy a little more accepting of strangers. Is there any good way to do that? I'd love to be able to take him out and around, but I'm afraid of people scaring him and them getting bitten..

judygram Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 A lot of greys do get territorial about their cage and it is best to allow them to come out on their own instead of reaching in for them but once outside the cage then they are usually more sociable but if your grey was not around very many people when young then they are not going to be very receptive to strangers. As far as the new baby it will be your job to keep the baby from getting anywhere near the cage and to be very careful of the time your bird spends outside the cage until your child gets old enough to understand how to behave around a bird. Birds and babies can co exist in the same house if precautions are taken to ensure the safety of each creature but especially the human child, it may be difficult but not impossible. You can take him out and about around strangers but keep them a safe distance from him and warn them he may bite if they get too close but it will help to get him used to being around others besides just his immediate family.

Albert Marshal Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I must clear the confusion about the behavior.Specially in those animal who has big size like cat and dogs.Behavior means to make your pet habitual of good and gentle behavior.It means that you do not have to tell him/her that for the stool pass you must go to a separate allocated place but you also have to tell that do not create disturbance or show aggression and do not bark on others .This is called behavior.

Popsicle Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This article isn't about territoriality but since you're gonna have a baby soon I figured it could interest you. It gives some tips on how to prepare the parrot for a new baby so he doesn't get jealous, etc. Hope it helps a little.
