Little punk! Every time I walk by him he "tries to bite me" only, he has no interest in chomping my flesh, he just wants to chew on my clothes! Hahahaha He lets me give head scratchies, and then nips me. Consistently every time I tickle his head. Still very very very attached to hubbs being in the room. He contact calls *constantly* while hubbs is out of the room. He is showing separation anxiety from his old flock I think, and has latched on to hubbs for comfort. He still contact calls quite a bit while hubbs is in the room too, and he often will grab something in his beak to just carry around-sort of a pacifier/tactile stim?
We know it likely will get worse before it gets better-we expected this. We are trying not to reinforce the screams, and we are showering him with attention when he uses his "smallbird" voice.
He seems perfectly willing to shred things, especially seagrass mats, paper towels, etc.
