Well there has been a few times when he won't step up when he is in the cage and I just leave him in there. He should come out later. What about the play stand question above?

Yeah I'm trying to not force him to do anything, I don't want to freak him out. I have been sitting beside the cage talking to him calmly and he gets next to me and starts to fall asleep. I think that's a good sign?

Thanks for the advice, he only flew once this mourning it was when I tried to spray him and he flew away I just put him up after that. It seems like he is always trying to go to my shoulder now, I don't let him up there in threat of my ears, and him being in control. Also he has a playstand on top of his cage, I have a stool that I stand on when I pick him I am above him. Is it bad to put him up there and talk to him when he is above you? I get him down when I am above him and he usually fusses a little then steps up.

very nice, how did you start him on the kisses, I have only had mine for two days. I'm afraid to kiss him right now. How long did you wait to start and how did you go about it?

you are welcome, I thought it might help if I just show you kind of what he does. It is just his second day with me and he is still a baby like many people have told me. They have also told me that I seem to be doing well with him. I just hope the little guy ends up loving me as much as I love him.

Here are some picture updates My girlfriend with Cosmo he loves his bottle caps

Are you serious? I heard of so many ppl blow drying their birds

well it was his 2nd day in his new home, he is doing well, although he is trying to fly a lot now. His wings are clipped so he doesn't go far, but I need him to stop in case he hurts himself. Other question is located in my video

Yeah it's so hard to leave him caged up I want to get him out and play with him haha. I'm sure everyone goes through that stage though. I am just going to start sitting by the cage a lot and talking to him sweetly and get him out every once and awhile. He normally steps up very well, every once and awhile he doesn't do it.

great looking baby. Looks to be in a loving home

Okay, that helps. I really need to let him get adjusted to his new home first though right?

I did, I only told him no. So what is the best thing to do when he does bite hard? I mean I know tough it out but I mean do I put him up or keep playing with him? I want to be able to pet him anytime, right now I can only pet him if he is right up against my chest.

Well I was playing with him a little while ago, I had him on my lap and he was chewing on a bottle cap and I started to pet him. He tasted my finger I was like okay, then he chomped down I slowly pulled it away told him NO! firmly and put him up. then I noticed I had the rope perch all wrong so I took him out just for a minute to situate the rope. He got back in his cage and I think he was a little angry I changed it but he finally settled down. does it sound like I did everything alright?

ahh nice they are awesome pets!!!

Well we left early this morning to pick up Cosmo, he is amazing already! He is a very handsome fellow, well you guys can see that :laugh: I'm kind of letting him get use to his new home right now. I think that is best before I start messing with him too much. He started eating when I got him home and now he is taking a nap. Any suggestions on first week bonding? btw he turned 4 months old yesterday.

That is horrible, I am very sorry to hear this. Thanks for the warning though. I was like you though, I had only ready about coffee, chocolate, avocado and such. Sorry again for your loss:(

Here is mine. Not as good as others, you guys have taken some amazing pictures!! <br><br>Post edited by: TalonSis, at: 2007/11/17 02:04

Hopefully Thursday. Depends if I can get a travel cage.

He is DNA sexed and is a male. I can't wait to bring him home
