Is it possible to post a picture? It sometimes helps when we can see what a grey is doing.

 

I wonder if its to do with the clipping? If for some reason there is some discomfort for your grey.

 

I would go for a vet visit if I were you just to check everything out. Do you have a good avian vet?

It could be a bad clip and the primaries are bothering your Grey. When you say chewing, do you mean she is biting them off in segments or just literally chewing them and causing damage such as small holes or visible wear on them?
