My african gray keeps bitting and pulling its feathers, what should I do?

I have a african gray and it always tries to bite me when I feed it or when I open the cage to let roam around. It also pulls its’ feathers out a lot. I was told they do this when they are nervous or scared. is there anyway to help calm the bird down and create a more relaxing environment for it? What should I do about the bitting?

How much would african grey bredding pair going to cost?

well i found a pair which just laid it eggs like 4weeks ago, he is giving 15kg food plus the nest box plus the cage to fit in the bk garden. The male n femail parrot age male is around 7 n the femail is around 6 something, how much do u think all this would cost? (as im in in ireland the birds are expensive keep that in mind ) he is askin me 1800euro ?
waht do u ppl think good price or bad?
thanks
@ Steve ‘ Art: my mistake i meant he took the pair away wen there babies were 4 weeks old.

@ millypeed: i have the cage in da Shed in the back garden, i was also concernced about that aswell but the breeder said it doesnt matter becasue he has around 100 african greys pair out in the same situitation.and they are all fi9 ..and i am 100% sure that there is no possiblily of rain getting in my shed but ill get a heater put in the shed aswell jus in case..

can i tranfer the cage of my african love bird into a new location even if they have eggs in their nest box?

ill just transfer the cage but im affraid that the eggs will not be hatched if they were disturbed during the transfer
