Hi their everyone. I was hoping that their would be someone ea that could tell me y my grey is behaving the way e his. . . First of all my grey is called alfi moon e is very friendly to me and only me and e never shut's up, but lately every time i get to close to him e start's making these weird noises and e drops his wings right down and his constantly bringing up food. my hubby says he is in love with me, if this is the case i really feel 4 him as e seems to get very distrest the longer e is by my side. so for the last few days e has been spending more time locked in his cage. Which im not happy doing as e his used to going in and out as e pleases.

Yep hes in love - the dropping of the wings and fetching up food are ways of attracting you as his mate - leaving him in his cage will only make him sad - he wants to be close to you - how about teaching him that your hubby is fun too - teach him some new tricks etc - distract him a little - but I will say that it never goes away - I have a Grey too who does the same - he has for years - distraction will help

aww thanks 4 ur reply, ive openned up the cage and es out doing the same.I will try to distract him. I was just worried that e would get depressed if i let him carry on and that it would make him ill. x

Give him a treat - something that will keep him busy for a while -some new toys that only hubby plays with him with - anything you can think of to keep his brain active and distracted from being in love with you He is ill - hes love sick LOL Bless him

Yeah congratulation he LLLUUUVVVVSSSS u i had this with my Grey he has been gone sometime now

That's ok coz i llluuuvvvv him 2, he's gorgeous and he has a fab personality.

Iv'e noticed that i make him worse when i talk to him like he's a baby, since ive cut that out, he does still do it but he doesn't seem to get so distressed. my hubby doesn't like the idea of playing with him he will talk to him but he wont get to close. alfi bites him, in fact he bites everyone but me, he is ever so gentle when it comes to me.

My grey hated everyone but me they do seem to take to one person, i do know someone whos grey will be friendly with anyone but its the only one i know. Mine could be very nasty sometimes and if they bite ya properly it really bloody hurts. He loved me but even i have been on the recieving end more than once

Has your hubby tried to make friends through the cage bars? Giving him treats - only he feeds him only he changes his water etc....
I know what you mean about being biten - but if you press into the bird as in if he bites your finger - instead of tring to pull away just push into him - yes it does hurt but once most birds realize its not a game and he wont scare you away with his bite - its not worth biting!!! No reaction to his bite is not what he wants...he wants you to run away and scream etc...theres the fun!
Ignore the love behaviour - dont show him you like it or hate it - just ignore him and when he stops reward him with praise or treats....its a slow road with greys but they do learn behaviour good and bad LOL

I have been ignoring the love thing now i know that it's not going to make him ill, i was worried that he would get depressed. Since ive stopped talking to him like a baby he as started to do it less. I will tell hubby what you said, it should go down a treat lol, Alfi puts his wings back and charges at him if my hubby sits to close to me. But he hasn't always behaved that way so hopefully we will beable to get him out of it.
