New FID won't let me touch him

[huntress]

My rescued grey is a biter but knows what scritches are from his past. I got to do it a few times by putting my one finger in the scritch scritch position if you know what I mean with just one finger curled and my hand in sort of a fist. I just showed it to him not to close but close enough and low and behold he bent his head down and fluffed his neck up for a good scritch. He didnt let me do it for long BUT it allowed me to show him what I wanted to do. Hey, its worth a try? I can do it, carefully now and he asks for it but he will turn and try to bite sometimes so I have to be on my toes with him. he wants it but he is afraid, of what? I dont know...

I've been having a little luck. The past few days I've been able to scratch his head or neck for a few seconds.

He really seems like he's starting to trust me now and is very calm when he sits on my arm.

He's really getting to be quite a talker too. I think we're in the beginning of what will be a great relationship.
