Oh my! He sounds like so much fun! One of my greys when I put her in her cage to bed,, she perches on my finders, then puts one foot on her perch & squeezes as much as she can with her other foot to my finger and holds it..I try and stay quiet as I don't want to make a game of it...BUT eventually the pain is too much... until she hears me say over & over " LET GO, YOUR HURTING ME" , then she releases me & climbs up to her nightime perch spot. Grrrr. they can make you crazy, but we still love them!
