Hi, I've had a african Grey for 27 years. I got him straight out of the breeder box. He's been an awesome pet! I love him and he's part of the family. I have never had any aggression of attaching before tonight. It breaks my heart. He's been biting me more in the last couple weeks.
I am weaning him off seed and on a better pellet diet. I honestly thought he was doing great.
I got married 15 years ago and he's become my husband's bird. He LOVES my husband. And now he's biting me significantly. last week he put a one inch deep cut into the palm of my hand and tonight he lunged at my face and bit my eye. literally 1/8" to my eyeball.
When these situations arise, my instinct I throw him off me. He's really hurting me.
I don't know what to do. I love him and need some advice and help.
