Well here we are almost two weeks since I posted.
Tinker seems to have slowed up a bit with his molting. Last week you would think we had a pillow fight LOL.
He has also stopped treating my like a chew toy. Thank goodness as that was a real PITA to go through.
I'm hoping that taking
@Eloy suggestion and getting away from him for a few days changed his attitude.
The last three days Tinker seems to have got the idea that when I say Dads going to work, that it's time to go to his day station and wait for me, I then say step up and he freely goes into his cage. No fuss no struggles.
X fingers this keep up as I hate having to darken the room and pick him up.
He now says:
David go to work.
"Where is David" when I leave the room.
Tinkers on his perch.
Tinker goes outside. He says this when I leave the garden door open to his safety area, or first stage of his outside aviary and flies out the door.
I also bought a baby camera that works real cool and I can check up on him when we are away using my phone. Haven't talked to him through it yet as I'm concerned it might spook him if I'm not here. I need to now set it up to capture him talking and playing. Videos will come soon.
I also had to get a new laptop as my 10+ year old one just went dead while it was running. No power lights, nothing. I took it apart and two capacitors were bulged and burnt. This took me a few days to get the new Acer up and running. Thank goodness I was able to get all my files off the hard drive. All is good now. Well mostly.
