New baby in the house!

[pearllyn]

Hi all, I'm brand new here and just wonderng if I can pick a few brains? We brought baby grey home little over a month ago and initially, he was keener to go to my fiance than me. However, it was really me that wanted him, and a I feed him and clean him although we both handled him from the start. about two weeks ago, baby alfie took a dislike to fiance david, and now although he will tolerate him, gos out of his way to avoid him. we can't pinpoint any change other that we introduce a rubber plant in to the living room just proir to this. Does anyone have any advice how we can put this right?

The plant is probably what made the change. How close to the cage is it? You may need to move it to the other end of the room and move it to where you want it slowly over time or remove it all together.

Some greys are very sensitive to change,something such as the introduction of a plant can become a big issue for a grey.Encourage David to continue to have contact,let him be the one to offer treats etc..let your baby see that he is a good guy & not a threat.

Hi guys, thanks for the advice.

By the time I clicked that the plant was probably the culprit, Alfie has kind of accepted it, and has taking to perching on it, which was really why I got it in the first place!

And David is continuing to suck up with treats!
