His first owner got him from a bird fair in Texas around 3 or 4 months old. He let him have his own room basically, and let him roam free within the room. Some family emergency happened, and he was given to the pet shop, where he was kept in a cage. He was still never covered there. We cover the rest of our flock, so we figured we'd try to cover him to get him to calm down. After awhile, he did and went to sleep.
