African Greys are very smart; and they get spooked easily. If they get spooked by anything, they will “bite first” and won’t think whether a bite was really necessary. This is self-preservation. They may also lose trust in their owners. For example, at one time I accidentally hit my Grey while moving my arm over his playground. It took me a while to reestablish trust in her. During the time of establishing trust, it is best not to allow a bird access to your skin. We like the Arm & Hand Perch as a training tool as it allows you to pick a bird up and yet have your skin protected (especially if worn as a HAND perch. Of course, you can simply pull a very thick fabric over your hand (such as a towel double-layered) and achieve the same effect. Once a bird gets aggressive again, you will have to go through the taming process again. The following page will provide guidance: /taming.html … Best of luck! Sibylle
