Jason Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi, My grey Ernie is about 9 months old now. When he was smaller my wife handfed him every morning. However in the last 3 months he has bonded closely with me and wont let her even touch him. He will happily step up on her but he she goes to touch him he goes mad and tries to bite. On the other hand I can do what ever I want with him and he never gets crazy. I have noticed that when my parents/brothers/sister comes over, he is very friendly with the men but screams when women come to touch him. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour where greys prefer one sex over another ? and also what causes them to switch bonds they had while handfeeding ? Thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Some greys do chose one sex over another, they are all so different. My greys will only have me handle them, they will let my husband feed them but wont allow him any contact as such. Let your wife be the one to offer treats and still be involved with the daily care of Ernie. At least this way they will still have some kind of relationship.
