Hi, My name is Rob and I have recently adopted an African Grey Parrot.
He used to belong to a friend who due to their working hours decided that he wasn't getting enough human contact and as such reluctantly asked if we would adopt him.
We have had Cocker for 2 weeks today. He hasn't been handled and as such bites anyone that tries to handle him. Except for me, he has developed an unhealthy attraction to me, which means I am able to get him to step up onto my hand and also stroke his head/neck. The rest of the family cannot handle him due to him biting, but if I am with him or close to him he will happily let them stroke his neck.
I will be asking quite a few questions over the next few weeks so please bear with me whilst we figure out his behaviour and get him to accept the rest of the family.
