Hi,
I hope someone will give me an answer. I have just adopted an african grey Timneh 1 week ago. He is 4 years old. He has a good backround, but family member became alergic. He is starting to open up and slowly adjusting. BUT.. I would love to take him out of his cage, but everytime I try to , he tries to bite me, and actually he did a few times. SOmetimes even if I just clean the cage or give him food, he comes and tries to attack. I read a lot about this behavior, I know he is nervous and scared, but I would like to know if I should keep trying to have him step on my finger or just wait when he comes out by himself. Previous owner had him out all the time. I guess I need more patience.
If you have any input or experience, please reply, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
