No sure

Good morning

Yesterday I brought my little 4 month old AG female GreyCee battled a little to give her her evening feed as she is still on one formula feed a day, she was hand reared, she let me rub her chest, back.

This morning I opened her and said good morning gave her a few grains of cooked rice, gave her fresh water and seed pellet mix.
But when I wanted to rub her chest she bit me hard enough to draw blood I spoke softly said no biting.

I left her for awhile and the spoke to her through the cage any ideas on what I should do, she also wont get on to my hand or finger I know I should give her a few day to settle but I;m worried she wont want to come out of her cage.

Give her some more time to adjust, and pay attention to her feelings. Don't push her to do anything she doesn't want to do. They are very inelligent creatures, and big moves can be very traumatic for them. She doesn't know who you are, or where she is. Spend time with her and talk to her, even if she doesn't want to be handled. She should come around.

Had a chat to the breeder this morning she said GreyCee never bites she need time to adjust to her new environment and family I think I just scared her a little not taking into account she's not my moms AG and used to people.

She is just to damn cute and I just want to hold her

the belly of a bird can be a very vulnerable place. some birds don't like to be touched there until they bond more closely with you. she's a little young, but maybe she was being defensive of her cage? I'm sure she'll come around soon, just give her time and spend time talking to her and giving her healthy treats. good luck, and she IS adorable!

This sounds like a matter of she just needs some time as stated before.

As Ann stated the belly is the most vulnerable place, when a wild parrot is threatend to the max he or she will roll over on the back and expose to belly as a like just kill me and get it over here are all of my organs.. So it takes some time espically to make sure you are not a predator in hiding
