How does he like his stand? Has he made any modifications? I bet he's up there all the time! (When he's not on one of you. 
)
Pics please?
I haven't finished it yet. He's afraid of everything, actually I am not convinced he's afraid. I bought a very small Kong tennis ball at a pet store in Lancaster pa on vacation (it was like a pet boutique) I was rolling it around on the sofa and he grabbed it and threw it! I gave him a treat for throwing it lol. I love seeing him throw things, he's a riot, and boy can he throw stuff! This is why his rocks stay on the floor. Anyway this was a ball he had never seen before. I think he's just learning how to play with things. I also have a carpeted cat tree with jute rope places to climb that he has just started using. When I say just started, he's on it about 5 mins or less at a time. It has a little nap hut on the top of it that's open on each side and is tall enough for him to stand up in. Lately his favorite thing is to get in that and throw out all the paper rolls and popsicle sticks I have in there lol. I don't care what he does as long as it's fun for him. I got this for him back in the spring. He's a work in progress, if he were a baby when I got him, it would be a quicker process since babies aren't afraid. I think new things are a combination of fear and not knowing what to do with it when the fear is gone. So I really watch him and just wait for him to approach things. Then I encourage play. I've been rolling balls on the floor for months, he's just now getting why they can be fun! When I do finish it and he sits on it, I most definitely will post pics. But he's SLOW GOING. IF I do things in his time it's better.
As of yet he's not destructive at all. I discourage him from chewing furniture by putting a piece of non-pilling fleece over it and for some reason doesn't bother with that. But my friends that had him for 7 yrs say he's not a problem bird and has a very sweet disposition. They kept him because they wanted to be sure someone they knew would give him a good home, by the way, they are not longer selling birds. They are now more in the business of rehoming birds. They sell fish and aquariums now. They are tired of their baby birds coming back as adults because they're too much work. So now people are interviewed and they are required to visit the birds they want. Since doing this birds have gone to good homes and these customers come back for supplies and they check up on how the birds are.
Let us know how he likes it!
I can't wait to see pics of both now.
