You have a VERY young bird there, pretty much still a baby so I suggest you wait until you are dealing with a juvenile because grays tend to be naturally high-strung and you don't want to cause it unnecessary stress that will damage the bird for life [there are studies that show that when a baby bird is stressed out, it remains high-strung for the rest of its life]. Babies are for bonding, loving and cuddling... This doesn't mean that you are not teaching the baby manners as you go along [things like 'step up', 'step down', 'come here', etc.] but the same way that you would not expect a toddler to sit down at a desk and attend school, you should not have training sessions with a baby bird. It backfires.
