Thanks Ari - will continue with the spray bottle - and yes he will tolerate a quick spray or two but then flies away - it's good to know that he might still change his mind. I'm sure you are going to love your new baby - sure she won't be Larry but then Larry sounds like he was one of a kind anyway - I'm hoping that as time passes Sheldon will get less freaked out by everything and learn to trust me more... had a bit of a wrestle with him yesterday on the bed (first time). I actually pushed him over and had him on his back for about 10 seconds and although it went well he continued to bite me pretty hard until I put him away again, a bit like kid not knowing when the game was over. Once back in the cage he was ravenous so maybe he was just biting me a lot because he was hungry.... I have to say he has impressive beak control - he can bite really hard without breaking the skin and gave me a bruise on my wrist - again without breaking the skin - I'm sure if he really wanted to he could rip my fingers to bits... Hey and I know it's too late but I don't find Sheldon all that noisey...sure when he flies around it can be a bit loud but he lets me sleep in till around 8:30am without a peep and yes the minute he sees me and then I leave the room he'll squeal but it's not major....
