I got him about 3 months ago, at which time he was about as unfriendly as possible for a bird. Over the weeks he's become used to "humans", but he'll still only sit for long periods of time on *my* arm/hand/shoulder... He's not, um, "cage trained" yet, so I have to clean up after him. If he's been sleeping (it's dark), and a light is turned on, putting your hand into his cage elicites a rather angered response and snapping beak. He's not good at waking up. 8^) -- | BITNET: jtb901@albny1vx | "I can see the future, | | jtb901@albnyvm1 | and it's a place about 70 miles | | INTERNET: jtb901@leah.albany.edu | west of here." | | | -Laurie Anderson |
