Hi my name is Liz and i live in Australia,and i am a new mum of a Congo african grey we have named Albie.
The problem im having with Albie is that i cant get him to step up without him taking a bite out of me.
He will do on the floor and cant get on his stand again and its darn hard to get him up and in again...
This isnt a nibble with is a chomp.
I have tryed using somthing for him to step up onto but he is terrorfied.
I was told he was younger than 6 months but now i look at all these picture on the net and read up about eye colour change i think he is older as he has the double ringed eyes
In Australia these birds are only available from breeders as they are knowen as exotic parrot and cost over $4,000 each(see how luck you all are in the u.s.a and u.k )
I would really love to work with him rather than rehome him,i have the time if someone can help me.
He will come to me for a walnut,he will let me pat him ....until he's had enough,but as soon as the hand goes below the head BITE
please help
thankyou so much
