It's common when a bird goes into a new enviornment to be stressed or a little scared. I always believe in leaving them alone until they get comfortable. He may not eat today but not to worry. Jazzy, my gcc is a very skiddish little girl, it takes her time to get used to something new, even toys when I rotate them. Don't worry mama, your faby will be fine.<img class="inlineimg" title="Smile" border="0" alt="" src="http://forums.avianavenue.com/images/smilies/smile.gif" smilieid="507"> Some do want to revert back to hand feeding, I agree, keep an eye on his weight. You are going to love having a gcc, they are so funny. Life wouldn't be the same around here without jazzy in it. Congrats on your baby.
