Welcome to the forums Scott and welcome to the much different world of being slave to a feathered friend or two or more.....
I'm pretty sure that if you read up on & begin touch training and/or clicker training, for you and Max, all should return to a comparative normality in short order.....
The problem lies in we human's belief that bringing companions into our homes is akin to kittens & puppies...feed them, play with them, give them a ball & everything will be fine.....nope, it doesn't work that way.....like pre-school children, they need to learn boundaries and limitations and since it seems Max has decided to attempt to exercise his perceived leader of the flock position, he needs to be apprised of the rules of the house.....
There are a lot of decent instructional text on the internet and there are several decent video clips on youtube, for your educational pleasure.....your son should also be involved the training lessons also.....
Good luck.....
