@BertAllen Paco and I have had a set back. He has bitten me twice and I"m not quite sure why. Maybe I'm not being patient enough when he steps up? Or I have gotten so relaxed not watching his body language? There has been a change in my schedule, I"m home later, I'm watching my granddaughter in the evening so my daughter can work. Also the time change its darker earlier. Last night he lunged at my forearm when I was getting his goodie cup and fell off his perch, (total drama) Then he started barking time scream, it was short, like he was scared of something, each time I got up to see if he was o.k. I was going to post something last night, but I've come down with this sore throat, stuffy head crap, ain't life grand? I'll see how he does today. I will keep that in mind, I'm just afraid if I move my arm up and down it will scare him. I spoke to his former owner yesterday and she didn't have these issues with him. Now I am wondering am I scaring him? I'm a lot shorter then her, I am do clean his cage often and I took out his water bottle and put in stainless steel cups, too many new things? He has been here 7 months now. He sure keeps me on my toes.
