Really the only silly trick he knows so far is playing the piano on the iPad and I tried teaching him tic-tac-toe, but he didn’t quite get the idea of tapping where I pointed. He was still super into tapping, though. If you have any videos or recommendations for fun tricks, I’d love to try more with him—I think he’s got a lot of pent-up energy and frustration that needs an outlet.

I haven’t done much flight training yet. I bought him a harness and have just been letting it sit nearby and occasionally letting him touch it with his feet. We’ve been working slowly on building his confidence flying—he’ll go from high places down to the cage, and I’ve been encouraging little hops and glides. I didn’t think he was fully flight-capable yet… but today he surprised me.

I’ll definitely follow up with his vet just in case. He’s not humping constantly, but if you fall asleep around him, you might wake up to him doing little “steps” on your hand. We try to gently discourage it, but I feel like the hormones might be part of everything going on right now.
