african greys

Ok I have a question, I have been looking at alot of birds lately and it seems like every african grey I have looked at is very timid and bitey. So my question is to al the grey owners have you found yours to he this way or is it just the little ones I have been looking at?

I don't have an African Grey but from the ones I've met I got the same impression except the ones that were so young they hadn't gotten to that stage. Not sure about how they are with proper care and training though so I can't tell you. But the weened babies I've experienced are timid and bitey whereas baby Senegals are not. They melt you away with their sweetness so you'd get them and then they become bitey later. :senegal:
