| Try to have someone else throw a towel over him and cover his eyes so he's not seeing who's doing the deed. | |

| Aww Dusty, I am just so impressed with you. Aww, Walter is a great name. I am a Fringe fan and fond of Walter  I have all my fids groomed by someone else. I am the good person, plus it gives me an excuse to play with all the big parrots while I wait  |

| After quite a few close but no cigar tries, walter stepped up and is sitting on my shoulder...so obviously he has been trained...i guess he must have gone through a bad time but is coming around now...all your advice paid off and i thank you...

dusty Awe! Yay for you! Sounds like he's known human affection before and just needed to know you weren't going to just manhandle him like inventory. | |

| Hey Dusty, congratulations on Walter! You told us before, that if you bring another bird, your wife won't approve? I'm guessing that Walter melted her heart  | |

| walter will step up and sit on my shoulder but he is very quiet and won't play with toys, i don't know if this is normal for a senegal or not...he doesn't bite anymore and is calm when we put our hands in the cage...he will go to anyone....thank you for asking, i was meaning to post but i was lax....lol

| He may just be taking time to settle in. Scotty didn't fully normalize in terms of showing how raucous he could be with toys and stuff for a full six months. He's my one Poi data point... | |
