Hello all! I am new to the the forum and hoped maybe to gwt some advice. I used to raise african greys and it was the most rewarding experience ever, so when I saw an add for someone selling thier amazon I quickly jumped and made the dedication to a new member of the family. WeeWee (the given name lol) was so sweet at first he took to both my husband and myself. I guess in the end my husband was the chosen one he bonded to. He started to gwt agressive towards me. I'd still play with him but then one day he asked to step up on my hand. Gladly I extended but once he stepped up he started attacking my finger. I put him back on the perch, tended to my finger as it was pretty bad and did some research. I fojnd that reacting to the bite is in fact positive reinforcement but since then I am afraid to handle him. He still comes out ans plays with me (I can pet him and we dance together no problem) so after a month since the bite (which ia today) I decided to try again. He attempted step up like he usualy does (out of fear I had been letting my husband do it evwn when he asks for me) and sure enough my finger was attacked again. He's a smart one; it seems he is planning the attack when he asks for step up and yet out of fear (and pain) I don't know how or if I can correct this behavior. It seems as though all is good he sticks his foot out as if we are the best of friends but once he's up the finger gets it. Not a hard bite but a 'I'm gonna go till I rip this thing off bite! This could have been for a dislike if previous females or hormones but I am unsure if there is anythi g I can do when the bite is so hard its near imposibble not to pull away. Any advice?
