Ollie is so bonded with us now he does not want to be in his cage at all if he comes out which is several times a day getting him back in is a nightmare. He flies out as soon as we put in on the perch with the quiet time phrase, he shoots out like a rocket. He is also bashing his feathers as he is playing very rough and then constantly climbing around the cage trying to find a way out, also he sits in the bottom of the cage scratching and digging his way out. We ignore him and try not to feed this behaviour, but at times it is so heart braking watching him trying to break out of the cage. He just wants to be out on heads and shoulders all day long, but as you all know it is not practical. What can we do. He has toys and radio or tv if he is left alone which is never for more than a couple of hours as we work from home. Also he has started screaming too like a young child like bird sound ish scream. Any thoughts folks, he is now around 4 months old is this normal for his age? We will not sit on his cage top or his play stand which he loved. We do NOT want to clip his wings as a friend suggested.

We just hope Ollie does not go bad tempered, as when we were looking for a baby we have been told by a couple of breeders, boys are not as good as girls, hence we wanted a girl. Well we love him anyway.
