African Grey won't stop trying to mate with me.

[Santaeid]

I have a male african grey timneh that will not stop trying to mate with me. I never pet anywhere except his head and as soon as I found out what it was I just give him something else to distract with.

 

He only does it in his cage and when I stick my fingers in for a kiss. He has been doing this for months and is getting aggressive towards me and others. I have distracted him and only ever touched him on his head and have made sure to let others know.

 

The worst thing is that I let him out with lots of toys to break and he seems content playing with them but due to him trying to mate with me he has started to pluck himself badly.

 

He did this before but giving more light fixed him but it doesn't seem to be. No matter how many new toys or treats or attention that stops when it gets sexual he just seems to pluck more and more and it just disheartening me. I feel I am reaching a breaking point.

 

I found a thing I am going to try called featherrific and avacann that may help calm and get his feathers back.

 

From the day I got him he seemed very clingy but I think it's because his previous owner was a man and when I got him the caretakers were women. I remember when he flew to my shoulder be it.on purpose or accident the first time the lady showed me him.
