My grey just want to feed me

[Tina Martin]

I have purchased a 12 year old African Grey. He has really bonded with, but I can’t hold him without him trying to feed me. That’s all he wants to do. What can I do to help stop this

You will need to distract him with toys or something else and ignore him until he stops as you don't want to encourage this behavior. My grey will do the same thing with my hubby, she loves him and just tolerates me even though she is my bird but you take what you get. Get some small toys you can hand to him to play with to get his mind off of trying to mate with you and be careful of where you touch him as certain places like around the wings and down the back tend to get them excited, just stick to head rubs.
