Jayd Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi, greetings and welcome. Your baby is expressing new found feelings, if he's just beaking, don't discourage it, just say, don't bite...If he's biting, don't let him on the shoulder. Now, one of two things are happening, he's chosen your husband, [in the wild, Greys don't bite,when they play, they get a mouth full of feathers] or, he's chosen you and telling your husband to back off. Take some time and see how it plays out, if he starts biting, stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie.c Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Thanks Jayd .. I kinda thought that might be the case .. We've only had him for a week so we'll wait to see what else happens x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
