Looking for tips on parrot socialization

Wenda

I’ve been trying to improve my parrot’s socialization skills, especially since I have a 2-year-old African Grey. He tends to get shy around new people, and I’ve been using treats to encourage interaction. What methods have worked for you in getting your parrot more comfortable with strangers?

I’ve had great luck with gradual introductions! Start with familiar faces and let your grey observe from a distance before getting closer. Have you tried letting guests offer treats?

I’ve found that letting my parrot watch me interact with guests really helps. It builds his confidence! Have you thought about using a consistent cue word when introducing him to new people?
