Congratulations
Pretty much take the bird everywhere, and you'll be fine. Stay away from the feather tether harness – they're dangerous, and not even made anymore by the manufacturer. At this point, your best bet to my knowledge is the aviator harness. There's a competitor, that I think may come out of Australia although I'm not sure, that has plastic snaps that might be easier to work with a young bird with – but I don't know how strong though snaps are and you certainly couldn't use them past babyhood.
My CAG Valentino never bit anyone , however he was obsessed with anything female and was known to growl at men if they got too close to a woman in his presence {his youngest girlfriends were four years old – Leah and Gigi; his oldest girlfriend has been 85 for the last couple of years at least, her hair is pink in the front and white in the back, she is tiny, Italian, and curses – Yolanda's my idol!}
Getting back on topic, make sure everyone you know handles the bird while still young enough that they won't be intimidated by it. My Valentino was very outgoing and social and a legendary prankster – 911 wouldn't even go to my mom's place for ages unless the person calling could actually see her while on the phone with them because he had pranked them one too many times.
A few months before his murder at the young age of 21, my friend Red brought up that her mother died of cancer. Valentino's favorite beagle died of cancer, so the subject interested him. He asked my friend Red, "how so?" After she got over her shock that we were telling the truth about the bird understanding human speech, she explained to a very attentive parrot about cancer.
I'm not sure exactly what is complete vocabulary was in numbers, but I do know that when people were not in the room and he wanted to lure someone to an apartment door, he could convincingly through his voice around the apartment through a locked cage {using several different voices at times} and he would answer the people behind the door using grammatically correct English and sound effects to keep them at the door until he lost interest.
You needn't take my word for it, as I just got off the phone with Red and my mother is on a recliner across from me. Both of the them have witnessed this on various occasions.
Valentino was also a service animal for an aphasic person a.k.a. me; which means basically word salad and I know huge chunks of about five different languages – which means he could fix some of my mistakes, even when they weren't mistakes.
My friend Rose comes over and learns that Valentino uses the word rose for pink. She was really excited that the bird knew how to say her name and tried to get him to say it – while wearing a blue shirt. She's arguing, "but I'm rose!" To which he kept insisting, "blue".
they don't come out of the box that way, but 21 years from now you can be having some very interesting arguments with a bird – and losing – as it should be
