Hi... I'm connie and I know quite a bit about Jendays, since
I have a 3 year old pet Jenday and breed them. It sounds to
me like your Jenday never got the attention it needed from
the prior owner. Usually Jendays are lovable and tend to
cater to the one who gives it the most attention. Spend some
time each day talking to the Jenday and hold him in the
dominant position to show him who's boss and with time and
effort, it'll come around for you. Here's what you do to
show dominance.... take your left hand and use your pointer
and middle finger and slip it around his neck (scissor like
position) and turn him over on his back. This scissor like
position is good because it allows him to move his head
without hurting him and biting you. Once he's on his back,
take your right hand and close his beak and tell him
sternly, "No Bite!" Do it several times. Then put him
immediately back in his cage and leave him alone for awhile.
Then, next time, talk to him some more with him in the cage
and let him get used to you. Good luck.... Connie
