Buddy

I have been working daily with my little man, but today he scared me. Lets start with yesterday, his wing feathers and tail feathers were starting to come in so pretty and beautiful, but yesterday for some reason he plucjed all his wing feathers out and all but one tail feather this saddens me so much. Well today i went and pixcked some satsums off my tree and thats what I have been giving him as treats for good behavior. It was getting to the point that I could walk around him and he wouldn't freak out and go running in his cage, hoe happy this made me. Well tonight I was standing about three feet from his cage, and I know by now when he does his "dance" he wants to be left alone, so I went and sat down to watch tv. He kept up his little "dance" and I chose to ignore him, well I'm kinda glad he has no wing feathers, because he lunged at me and tried to fly towards me, but with no feathers he didn't get far. When I looked at him he was walking towards me on the floor, but was very much hissing and grinding his beak together. I really think he was trying to attack me. In a stern voice I said "cage Buddy" and he did listen, but when he got to his cage he would not go in, I said "Buddy in", and he listened. I just don't know how to take this aggression he has showed tonight. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

Is there a way to post a video? I wanted to post one to show the "dance" he does and see if anyone has had experience with this dance.

I've seen people upload videos to you tube and then post the link. wha type of bird, how old, and what is his history. I know some back ground may be helpful.

He's a 5 year old Goffin. He's a rescued bird. I've been having him since Aug of this year. I am his 3rd home. The person that abused him would hit him with sticks and broom handles, pretty much whatever he could hit the bird with. When animal rescue went to get him, the man was hitting him in front of animal rescue.
