judygram Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Kelly the only think I can tell you is you will just have to remove him from your or anyone else's head whenever he tries to sit there. And since he was allowed to do that at his former home, it will take some time and perhaps hundreds or thousands of times of removing him but persistence will pay off and he will learn that he is not to do that anymore. I can understand the digging in part, Josey likes to sit on my shoulder and I have the talon marks all over my shoulder to prove it, you would have thought I had been in a cat fight.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi Kelly Judy is right the only thing you can do is remove him every time & tell him a firm no, perhaps put him on a play stand or return him to his cage for a minute, Repetition & patience is needed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It will not be an overnight change by any means, it takes time and lots of patience and persistence, but the rewards are handsome so keep at it, Kelly and keep us informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest briansmum Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 yep just keep taking him down, brian loves to try and get on my head.. he has done from the word go and i have never allowed it, yet he still persists. it's just one of those power battles but then need to know your patience is far stronger than their desire.

Laurie Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Wow, Klaus has never been one to get on anyone's head. He is a shoulder-boy, he was so persistent about that that I gave up and there he sits. But he's never been interested in getting on my head. He does like to "preen" my hair, though, which I think is funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
