How do you kno if your Grey likes you?
- Thread starter RealDeal
- Start date
If they like you-
- calm and relaxed in your presence
- is comfortable stepping up or spending time with you
- is comfortable eating and vocalizing near you
If your relationship needs work-
- if they lunge or bite
- standing tense and alert
- wings spreading in warning
(All birds have different ways to show affection, these are just some of the common signs.)

My Grey is 9 or 10 months now. She steps up and let's me scratch her head when she's in the mood not always tho.

Is she nine months, or have you had her for nine months? It sounds like she is starting to relax with you.

Parrots do best with calm energy. Excitement can leads to bites.
2 months is still a short time. You want to form a bond of trust right now.
So don't be pushy or forceful. Be calm, slow and patient.
You're bird is also still a baby and learning.
If she's not in the mood for scritching, listen to her. Try again a bit later.
Show her you are listening.
Most behavior problems arise because 'we' the people don't listen and learn the signs and body language of our birds.
A strong trusting bond will last a life time, and help make problems that arise surmountable.
Take it slow and easy.
I'd also be wary of starting shoulder time.
Birds must earn that place over the years.
Your eyes and face are too close. Babies will go through stages as they grow.
Sometimes nips and bites happen. Protect your face.

My Grey would run over to me, whatever side of the cage I was standing at. Same thing with my YNA. Both very animated with their affection.
