Trickeration said:And this is my baby, Samba. He's only 3 years old, and will live to be about 80. I hand fed him as a baby, so he really thinks I'm his mother. Unfortuately, like most parrots, he doesn't really like anyone else in the house. He also talks, sings and dances, and can wave to you with one wing (his only trick so far).
We also have 2 cockatiels and a parakeet, but they're a little camera-shy.

. Lady Day, has your friend ever given him plucking toys? They usually have frizzy sisal, cotton, palm or coconut rind, and can really keep a bird busy. If he's afraid of them, you set them kind of near the cage at first. After a couple of days, move it closer and once he's comfortable put it in. Might help. Foster and Smith has some online. Also, mirrors can calm birds, too. They think their reflection is a companion, and can be quite happy that way. They make bird friendly metal ones, like camp mirrors. Or you can use glass as long as it's not in his reach. I wish your friend luck, and thanks for the compliment to my 'fine feathered friends'.
