Okay, thanks. He seems to love his toys. He loves to shred wood and cardboard. I think he feels safe and is content, but he just doesn't like people getting too close (which is understandable). I'll keep everyone posted if there are any breakthroughs. I really appreciate all feedback!

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I may have to invest in a good set of earplugs when I try to rearrange things with him in the cage. :laugh: Do you find that it is less stressful to do it that way instead of catching him up? Either way, I don't think he is going to be happy. At this point, how often should I rearrange and swap out perches and toys? I am ready for however long it takes him to come around (if ever). I will try to get some current pictures. I have some from when I first got him, but his poor beak was all chipped up. It looks much better now. Anyways, thanks again everyone.

I try leaving it open, but he does not come out yet. I'm not sure if they knew his exact age, but they were guessing he's around 11. His name is Roscoe.

I am owned by many animals. At the moment, I have two birds: a TAG and a cockatiel. I got my grey a couple of months ago. He was a rescue. I was told that he was an ex-breeder, but I really do not know a lot about his background. Does anyone else have experience with ex-breeders that were never really socialized with humans?? I am well aware that if he ever comes around, it will take along time. He does not like anyone to get close to him. He is quite a screamer if you do. Right now, if I go to catch him, he just flops backwards and screams. I wish I didn't have to catch him up, but how do I get him out to clean his cage, change out toys, etc. without making him not trust me? He will not come out on his own. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
