I let Threio on my shoulder all the time. Loves to preen my beard and nibble on my ear. Gets a little aggressive with my moustache, a few “blows” to the face and a stern No seems to bring order again.

I forgot to mention that Gabriel didn’t deposit a load on my back or shoulder either; he saved the gooey mess for his owner Rob’s shoulder.

Thanks for the use of the photo in your blog. For the record, the African Grey did no harm to me other than a few scratches. He sensed right away that I’m not much of a ‘bird person’.

Great site and good advice,make sure you know your bird well. Parrots are great pets and I enjoy learning more about them.
