That is because your are doing a really good job with him.
You have not spoiled him with a lot of out of cage time and comfort 24/7 and that have made him natural independence. That they from the beginning should have both cage time and out of cage time is so important. I often say that to new parronts, and here we have the prove of how well it is working.
Thank You very much for the compliment.
I have tried to do with this guy what I did with Gus my wild Blue Fronted Amazon 40 years ago. Yeah I'm that old and been retired since I was 57. Although Tinker was never as vicious as he was in the beginning. Still have some scars from that little bugger.
I have given him at least 6 hours of freedom daily so he can develop his flying skills and build his muscles up. He has even learned how to hover now and do figure eights at full speed. His landings at dead on and he is responding well to my finger snap and come command.
He also learned to keep his head down when near the ceiling.
It's the time of year now for fall Walleye fishing and the finals for shooting matches at local ranges so he is going to get some extra cage time. I have the best walleye lake in the world 10 minutes north of me.
Tonight he fell asleep in Teresa's lap and I swear he was snoring.
Got his outside aviary today and it will take a few days to assemble, I'm quite sure the person who put together the assembly instructions is laughing.
I'll post pictures when it is all completed with branches etc.
