I bought a Quaker a few days ago, and I was told he was 2 years old, but now I'm told he's less than a year old. Whichever the case, mine is very tame and friendly. He'll fly to anyone's shoulders, he's used to being indoors (he won't even fly toward the windows), he loves being petted and scratched and he won't mind if I hold him, ALTHOUGH he's become frightened of my hands thinking that I'll force him inside his cage every time - he used to step-up without hesitation but now he won't do it at all.
How long will it take for him to get used to his new home and start becoming comfortable around my hands again?? (I often hand-feed him treats like cooked rice, apple, oranges, carrots, bread, etc.)
How long will it take for him to sort of understand what I'm saying to him, and mimic me? (From his previous home, he knows how to laugh - like "ahahahahahahaha" while bobbing his head -, he says "peekaboo", sometimes he mimics the sound around him like a car alarm or a whining dog, he often makes this water dropping sound like from a cell phone notification, and he sometimes whistles along with me.)
Based on what I've told you about him, do you think he can be potty trained?
