HoneyMoon Period in AGs - how long does it last?

[conurehrdr]

I sort of know the answer to this, but I was wanting to know people's experiences. I'm wanting to know how long African Greys go through their 'Honeymoon' period with new owners. My research says about 3 weeks, but I was wondering if it would start sooner? I've had Yvons, a CAG, for a week, and he's been an angel. I keep expecting him to act up or try to bite soon, and ... well, he just hasn't. Yet. He's been singing more since being here. He's a comical little guy .

Whatever experiences you can share on this would be helpful. TIA!

Every bird differs, there is no set time. Not every bird changes dramatically either after being home a while, it mostly depends on the individual. It is great to be aware that at first he might not feel safe/comfortable and because of that may express different behaviors. Just go at his pace, don't force him etc. Sounds like you are both doing great Any pictures to share?

Thank you! LOL! I'm glad I'm on the right track. I want to make sure Yvons is comfortable. And I always have pix- Here are today's pix of the boi! LOL!

What a beautiful boy I'd love to keep hearing updates about him and whether or not he changes his behavior a lot the coming weeks!
