it might be possible that he doesn't like him and doesn't want him to be close to you. my amazone does the same to me. he always attacks me and bites me till bleeding.
you could try to train him not to do this anymore.
african greys many times prefer one person. but with some training it should be able to get better.
hi there thanks for that but ur saying to train him not to attack so how do i do that then if u can help me

you can try clickertraining. when he does something good, click and give him a sunflower or something he like a lot. if he does something wrong put him in his cage for 5 minutes and ignore him. after that start again. soon he will associate that for good things he gets a reward, for bad he is punnished.
