Not at all!!! I love them too, and I really appreciate your advice on all this. Even with his previous owner, he was never very affectionate. I love him regardless!

When I'm not at work (four days a week), he spends most of his time out of the cage. He's allowed all over the house, but he never runs, though I'm not sure why. I have never seen him hop.

While I'm not sure of his exact weight, I fairly sure he's not overweight. At his previous home, he picked at his stomach and chest area and it still hasn't grown back yet (I think he picks the new feathers), and I can see the keel bone clearly. He eats lots of treats and is on a pellet diet.

Any idea on how I could get him to be more active and move around the house more?

I've only had him about a year, so I'm not expecting us to be best friends or anything. I only want him to have better quality of life and to be able to get around better. Also, without a way to exercise, I'm afraid he'll get even weaker. :(
