hi my name is Liz and i live in Australia a few weeks ago i got an african grey(congo)and he bites me!he wont step up but will be scatched and bite when hes had enough,he bites unprovoked

i have looked at many picture my grey is ment to be just 5 months old today yet his eyes have double rings!

have i been ripped off into getting an older african grey,would that explain the odd behavior he has?

i am a mum of a 2 year old male ecky and have never had any issues with him,im pretty well knowledge on bird handling but he seems set in his way please help!

Try treating him with big chunks of hard molded leather...it helps with their aggression..

i was really worried about Albie biting me then i emailed maggie wright and she gave me a few tips,like using the walnuts he loves so much as a reward and a reward ONLY from me and no other family members,and guess what........yes i havent been bitten by Albie for 5 days and......he also will now step up onto my hand :D great progress from a lovely boy
