I have a male Timneh who's about 6 years old. He's in love with my 14 year old son, who can do anything with him and doesn't get bit. The Timneh has lived with us for 2+ years now, my female Congo has been here about 4 years.
The problem is the Timneh is aggressive to almost everyone else. My husband can't get near him. He's "okay" with me unless my son is in the room. He does bite me unexpectedly to the point of drawing blood. He's always been very territorial with his food bowl, play stand and cage. If he can't grab a hand or arm to bite, he'll grab my hair.
The bigger problem is that he will actually throw himself off his playstand and attack any of my son's friends that walk past him, even if they're feet away. Sometimes when the kids are watching tv he'll sneak quietly off his stand and then go after them. He's gone after my elderly dog and other pets. He jumps off his playstand and will climb up on my other grey's stand and fight with her until she vacates. If they both end up on the floor he'll attack her. I've had to put "things" between them to neutralize the fight, such as a pillow, magazine or whatever I can get my hands on so I can rescue my female.
He is now going after toes, whether in shoes, socks or barefoot. He hates people's toes and he won't let you pick him up to make him stop attacking. At this point I have to get a portable stand to pick him up.
I was hoping that as time passed he would fit in better with our household, but it almost seems like he's determined to get rid of us all and have the whole house to himself.
He reminds me of Michael Keaton in "Pacific Heights." Comments or suggestions?
