I have had Captain Morgan for 4 years now, he is a Congo Grey..we got him when he was just weined from the pet store. I always wanted an African Grey..what a handful he is. it seems like when I don't have time to spend with him, he gets real aggressive when I go to see him and snips at my fingers. Sometimes he lets me hold him and other times he lets me know that he don't want to be bothered. Why does he snap at me like that? he is spoiled. I give him fresh blueberries, strawberries and he love carrots. he will tell me when he wants a carrot. he actually walks out to the kitchen and stands by the fridge. he is so smart. I have him counting to 10 now. what do I do about how aggressive he is to me. He will act like he wants me to rock him and pet him, and then we will snap at my fingers when I am rubbing him.. I would love to be able to touch his stomach and he won't let me..I am jealous that you can do that. maybe you can help me.
