Sounds like he needs a little while to get adjusted to his new surroundings. Congratulations on your new friend!! I think you will be very happy and he will too! I can't tell you how much I enjoy and love my two Cockatiels.

Just this weekend, my husband and stepson made a new "gymnasium" for Milly and Roger. I forewarned Scott and Andrew that they might be to afraid of it to do much for the first few days. Good thing because they were too scared to play on it, but we put some food at the base and they have at least gotten that far. It will take some time, but I think it will be a wonderful "play" area for them very soon!!!
