Thanks for the cage suggestions!! I'll look into those as well!! And wow, NINE years?? That's insane! I'll definitely have to try again!! I hope that you continue to bond with him over things and that things go well for the two of you!
I made mistakes with Slater, and I finally realized we needed a reset. I started back at the beginning with him and that was the key. His screaming stopped and once that happened we were able to become friends. I can't even remember the last time he screamed at me, and a few nights ago he was startled off his cage by Talli and ended up on the floor. For the first time ever, he ran over for me to pick him up instead of my husband
