hello
i bought my husband a African Grey 2 weeks ago at 16 week old, at first he would go to anybody who visited and both myself and my husband for loving petting, this last week he has become aggressive towards everyone including my husband when i am present, when i walk into the room he fly straight to me and want to sit there all day. if my husband comes near us during this time he starts squawking really loudly and try biting him, but if i am out of the room he will let my husband love him and will sit on his knee feeding out of his hand and playing.
the other day i was out and when i came back there was a visitor(whom he previously had met) at my home, when i walked in he was happily sitting on my husbands knee, i sat down and all of a sudden he went on the floor and walked all round the furniture and over obstacles to avoid going near the visitor to get to me.
i really don't understand why he has changed so much.
could anyone suggest what we can do to make him less aggressive and more accepting with other people
