fidsandfrats Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone, I finally got the chance to get Slater on video biting his nails. He's been doing this behavior forever. I've been told by many that this is a grey trait. Let me know after seeing him actually doing it if you still think it's a grey trait or something else. I am probably reinforcing this behavior but for the life of me I don't know what I am doing to reinforce it and I cannot figure out how to get him to stop and I sure don't want it to escalate.

Thanks. You would not believe how long it took Slater to get used to his new place. Still not sure he is confortable in there. Greys can be so complicated.

ranaz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 He looked so cute biting his nails, but kinda looked ancsious as well... he seems to love his net in the room... I loved the room and I hope one day I can have one like this at my place...you did a great job and with all those toys... I kinda understand that it will take them a while to get used to this place... but its like a parrot heaven to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
