Wish me luck!! =D Thanks all =D

Hey all, I tried some of the stuff you suggested..... I only feed him a specific quantity of sunflower seeds now.... and yesterday when he was at his perch i used the step up benguin used to do (to only step with one foot on my finger and raised my hand a bit and he stepped up!!!!!!! =D and i did it multiple times... =D Thank you all for your help....this is really a great forum!!!! am gonna send a picture later today with Benguin steeping up

Hey all, First of all my name is Zeid and i have no experiences with pets before, I got a 1 year old CAG 5 weeks ago from a pet store, after watching thousands of videos on youtube and i wanted to get one....anyways He was wild and kept screaming whenever anything got near him. I named him Benguin, The pet store told me just to feed him sunflower seeds...and i did as he told me.....but after researching about greys, i read that sunflower seeds isnt a healthy diet, so i tried feeding Benguin apples, grapes, sweet potatoes, bananas, nuts, rice, pasta, chicken, beef, carrots but she never accepted anything!!!!! benguin keeps throwing them. I dont know what to do any1 can help me???? I managed to tame him a little. ***here are the things i managed to achieve with him: 1. he dosent scream anymore 2. he allows me and anyone to feed, touch and scratch him 3. he can step up with one foot on my finger and eat a seed 4. i open his cage and he stands out on his perch and play around out for about 7 hours a day and i put him back to his cage to sleep at night (using towel since he doesnt allow me to carry him, neither accepts to step up) 5. he never bites any hand that gets around him... he only bites when i try to stretch his wings or try to grab him (he doesnt bite when i ask him to step up.... he just ignores my hand) ***Things i have worries about: 1. His diet issue 2. is his progress good enough in 5 weeks??? 3. Benguin doesnt make any noises.....( i only heard him whistle 8 times since i got him) 4. He doesnt step up by the way i dont know benguin's sex Sorry for the long text....but i am so worried.....Thank you in advance =D bbye
