Making progress

Last pinch from butch while moving him was sat am. I've started giving him scratches while moving him on my arm as well as moving very slowly. He's still trying the "let go" game where he grabs my shirt and won't let go. But today he didn't. Slow and steady.

Sounds like you two are working things out.....

Yup patience and a high tolerance for pain. Lol. I haven't backed down. Guess he knows he's not going to intimidate me.

Great work, too's have painful bites. Their beaks are much more compact and have two prongs in the bottom. A too warning bite is more painful than most parrot warning bites.

Do you have pics of butch?

This is a pic that was from before we took him in. I will post more when I have a chance (can't from work)

sounds like you are doing really great, as for the two prongs on the bottum those can be rounded off by the way by an expirenced groomer or vet. i get them done on my m2 because he can have a bad bite(he gets very exicted).
