Signs of irritable AG

[SarahDavid]

Noah was on my shoulder yesterday and then he was playing with my new gold neclace and bit it apart it didnt take him more than few second to destroy it

 

But i didnt get mad at him

 

He is very gentle and sweet.

 

How do you know when african greys are irritated ? i mean ofcourse if a parrot moves away you know it means dont come close to me. but is there other behavior that is normally hard to see for people that indicates they are mad or irritated?

When they bite you, it usually means they are irritable :laugh:

 

No seriously, here is a good thread on body language in our greys.

Excessive daylight can also cause your bird to become irritable & tired,greys should not be in a light environment for more that 12 hours a day.
