Post: biting amazon help

Posted by greg on 11/05/06

help needed..
I have purchased a double yellow headed Amazon..He
is about 15 years old, has had a history of two previous
male owners..and was kept in a small toyless cage..
He flares his tail and pins his eyes.. bites and reacts
this way only to men. Does anyone have a reason why he
would have this reaction only to men and/or a solution to
the problem..i have had the amazon for a little over a
month. i can give him food and water from my hand, but
with no offering he strikes to bite...my fiance
can handle the bird like a baby and never has a problem..

I would like to be able to handle the bird also.. any
suggestions would be helpful... thank u.. greg
