African Grey Parrots
3 Answers
We are currently fostering an African Grey Parrot, although it is very tame it (we arent sure of the sex) still has a tendancy to bite any part of our body that is near enough to IT! Can anyone shed some light on how to stop it from biting as we are really quite friendly!

However, even a gentle nip from that beak can really hurt soft human skin. You don't say how long you've got this bird for, but if it's for any length of time, you may want to learn how to train it.
