Simon is 22 weeks old - we have had him for 3 weeks and really love him.
I need help knowing if the following is "normal"
When we first got him, he already knew how to step up and was a total love bug - from the beginning he has eaten any and everything put in his fruit/veggie bowl - he has played with all of his toys.
As he has settled in more he swings and climbs all over his cage...lately he has been playing on the bottom of his cage .... not alot but 5 or 6 times a day -- is this normal???
Also he has A LOT of energy and is constantly moving all up and down his cage and tearing up toys - he seems VERY happy - I guess I was thinking after all of my reading that he would be calmer (I am NOT complaining!!!!) is this typical???
Lastly - he has started to bluff me and grab and my fingers when I ask him to step up - he also tries to nibble (very hard) my fingers when we are just hanging out watching TV. normal??? how to I get him to stop the nipping/biting - right now I sternly say no and he stops but I have to remind him often.........
One other question.....I only pet the front of his chest and his beak because I do not want to have any issues with him mistaking me for a mate - is it bad to rub their beaks or chests?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
