How on earth did he get stuck in the break peddles ? ? ? surely he wasn't lose in the car...He should have been in a carry box. I expect the experience has frightened him and he may take some time to settle down. I'm no expert by any means but I would suggest taking things real slow with him and let him get his bearings. We were lucky with ours as he was hand reared and used to people handling him all the time and we went and saw him quiet a few times b4 we bought him home so that he was used to us. Don't rush him and let him come to you when he's ready...

HI all, Im a newbie here too and I picked up my AG on Sunday. He has settled in great and is already a huge part of the family. He is 13 weeks old and weaned but we are still giving him baby food once a day to get that bond with him. He loves his cuddles and wants to be held constantly which is lovely as I also have a cockatiel who would have your finger off if you even try to go near him..!, so to be able to hold and cuddle a bird is a new thing for us and we are loving it. We hope that by our cockatiel seeing us handle our AG and seeing that we will not hurt him he may come round, but I suspect that will take a while. But thankfully the 2 birds are getting on just fine, our little cockatiel looks tiny now against the AG. Have loads of pictures if anyone is interested, in the meantime I wish you luck with your new little bundles of fun and hope the time until you pick them up doesn;t drag to much..
