oh yes! all birds would be happier tamed. for instance, if you were afraid of tornados... wouldnt you be happier if you got over your fear? I sure would. And if the bird is in his cage all the time, witch im not sure of, that is not healthy for him. poor baby. thats to bad they arent selling him. he could probibly find a good home. if he is not tame he is probibly not happy, either. thats to bad... it sounds like a great place, too. It will not ruin his spirit to tame him. It will only make his spirit better! do you know if he is actully mean, or if its just that he bites?
