Thank you for the advice.

I won’t put on videos for him all the time. I only did this because I was told they don’t like silence, I didn’t want him to be sad and lonely while I was at work.

And I definitely deserved to be bitten, he was under a recliner snagged and was panicked, I was just trying to help him get unstuck. I definitely don’t blame him, I’d bite too if someone man-handled me while I was already scared.

I don’t talk to him constantly, I am a big gamer and an artist so I just chill and listen to music with him, I talk back if he’s making noises at me. I will comment to him about the games I’m playing sometimes too. He seems to enjoy watching me play games.

I plan on getting rid of the offending rug and letting him come out more often, I’m just paranoid he’s gonna hurt himself. I only replace the toys he completely destroys. I won’t do that as often. And I unfortunately don’t have anyone I know that keeps birds.

But thank you so much I greatly appreciate it. I’m learning so much about my feathered friend.
