Hello.
I just joined this group today. I have had parrots for most of my life. I did rescues for quite a few years & then when a Military Macaw I had as a pet that was a rescue died after over 10 years I stopped for a few years. Last month someone locally needed to rehome a Congo African Grey so now I am owned by a parrot again. She/he (not sure owner says she but not sure & friends say he) is about 28 years old & has been stressed for a while since before I got her/him (Tango is the parrots name). Tango has been plucking for a while but just a small patch for the most part & a little inside it's leg. I have had Tango for about a month now. Tango was owned by a lady for about 19 years lastly & Tango prefers my wife (probably partially because of that), Tango also likes my sister & niece. Tango will go to me & let me hold him/her but as soon as my wife comes home or into the room Tango wants her. The day I got Tango I was bit very hard 4 times but Tango has not drawn blood since. He/she is the same around my son. I have had parrots long enough to know it may take months or longer for Tango to be more comfortable around me. If any of you have suggestions it may help. I already have a few from friends that I need to try also. I mainly wanted to say Hello. I don't get on my computer as often as I should so I may be a little slow at responding also. I'll try to attach a picture of us but the better ones are on my phone.
