lol NOOO he's a brat, he screams and bites lol but again i got him out of pity or should i say hubby i said NO NO NO NON NO...but he got him anyways there are days where i TOTALLY love him and days where i'd like to ship him somewhere far far away...but poor guy was allowed to drink coffee ate cockatiel food allowed all the junk food he could possibly eat...and had this small cage they said that he was only in it when they were sleeping or working well the lady had him worked 45 hrs a week so i can imagine he spent an awful lot of time in that cage...and yes he was pu but i don't think other than being pet he was actually held...poor guy. We thought he had finally settled in as we all got to hold him one night but then the next day my hubby got bit in the cheek and a week later in the lip....well he's never tried biting me so i told hubby to leave him alone....sure enough he got out and was perched ontop of another birds cage and i went to pick him up and he lunged at me...lucky for me he tipped the cage over and fell to the floor so i didn't get bit lucky for him and the other bird neither was hurt but now we are at a stand still no one wants to get bit but we all love him too. |

Just a suggestion...
Have you tried toweling him to cuddle for a while?
I know Toos love to cuddle but they are also very unpredictable.
If you towel him a few minutes every day and talk nice a calm to him he will start to build some trust.
It took a while for Pete to accept me and he loves to cuddle in a blanket so that's how I got him to trust me.
But like I said it's just a suggestion.

| i think your umbie is chewing his feathers this is a sign of boredom, poor diet or sickness. you might want to check on him more often or bring him to a avian vet to get a check up coz this might get worse like self mutilation. |

| according to the vet he's healthy....he isn't loosing anymore feathers he's simply not getting any new ones in..he came to me in this shape his diet here is fine BUT not where he was before coffee cigerette smoke junk food etc..I am thinking he's damaged his feathers and they simply won't grow back... |

| that's good to know atleast he's healthy but still to be on the safer side better watch him closely im just concern that it might end up in self mutilation which toos are known for. |
