: Hello: This is my first time at
: this
: site. My african grey, Geraldo,
: has been displaying some unusual
: behavior lately. He is almost
: constantly grabbing at my hands
: and/or fingers whether I am trying
: to pet him or not. This is not
: his
: usual behavior. He used to be
: more
: relaxed and would let me pet him
: with no problems. Now I
: constantly
: have to be on guard because I
: don't
: know if he is going to give me a
: real bite or just grab. I can
: think of nothing that has changed
: that would bring on this unusual
: behavior. As of late, when he
: bites I calmly put him back in his
: cage to try to detour this
: behavior. But things are not
: getting any better. Now if I try
: to pet him and he grabs at me and
: I
: stop, he grabs at me more. I just
: can't figure it out his mixed
: signals. Geraldo is a two year
: old
: male who recently has recovered
: from a fractured leg. But it has
: been months since that happended
: and I thought that we had become
: closer because of the extra care
: he
: needed. He looks great and seems
: fine. But I have been putting up
: with this nipping behavior for
: over
: a week now and I am getting
: frustrated. Can anyone help me?
: Thank you, Linda
