KevinD Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I know this probably gets old, but I’m trying to give examples. He was in a bad mood tonight, and maybe you can use this. When your Grey is in a bad mood, they will let you know , and you can avoid flesh loss. Sukie won’t bow his head and makes a click noise when you try to scratch them. You should avoid being bitten. A lot of people post in the Parrot bit me thread. You can avoid being bitten by recognizing your Grey’s mood. I know Sukie That’s all I have. Have a good weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 very accurate, that's how I live & believe...if I get bit. it's always my own fault for not reading their cues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I try to tell myself that it's my fault if I get bit. I swear though, sometimes it seems intentional, even planned. Like "I'm going to lure her in and take a plug out of her." I see no warning signs, everything is going as usual, then bam, bite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoow Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Alfie used to sucker punch me by lowering his head, waiting for a scritch then then lunging. So I'm always a bit cautious and if he flicks his head to one side, I back off immediately. If he steps forward and lowers his head again then he definitely wants a scritch. If he doesn't move then I feel it's a 50/50 of whether he wanted a scritch or was going to bite. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Is the click sound similar to the sound of snapping your fingers? If so, Maalik and I like to make that sound back and forth to each other. For us it's a fun game. Never knew it also meant to stay away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 It isn't Timber's warning sound either. We "click" at each other all the time, and he will also do it when I give him a treat he wants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tag does this. she lures you in with her sweetness, then BAM, she takes a nip! She has always been a jokester & lives for outsmarting me. I never fall for her tricks, cause I will get a bite! They have such different personalities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
