A question about a new playstand.

[Journeyman]

I bought Cosmo, my 2 year old Grey, a Manzanita tree for Christmas. I set it up about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to get him comfortable with it. He is stubborn, I'll say that much! I take him out of his cage a couple of hours a day so he very comfortable with his surroundings, however, I understand that this tree is not his regular outside perch, so he is leary. Any suggestions as to helping Cosmo understand that it's not a big "boogie man"?

I'm new at being a grey owner, but I would place perhaps a favorite toy on one of the branches or perhaps hang some favorite treats. That might help him realize his Christmas gift is a good thing. Otherwise, I would leave it where he can see it and get use to it and he decides he wants to check it out on his own. Merry Christmas to you and Cosmo!
