Alexandrine Parrot of 2 years

[APPK1234]

Hi, i really need help. I have a very sweet Alexandrine Parrot of 2 years brought home two weeks back. Unfortunately he is extremely scared and aggressive when he sees hands and fingers. He is fine with nose touching but hands and fingers is a huge problem. He bites and will show all signs of 'stay away' aggression. I have tried to feed with hand - still no results - the moment food is consumed he resorts to biting.

I do not want to give up hope as I can see that he does not mind being petted by nose hence he is not totally against humans. Maybe there is a past negative exposure of being mis-handled and hence he has associated this with fingers and hands. He has no problem with people being close to him as long as hands are kept away.

Am reading a lot of techniques and none seem to show progress.

Is there anyway in which I can have him trust hand and figures? Please share your experience and views.

Regards
