I am new to owning a bird and my husband is new to owning a parrot. Recently if we put him in his cage because we have to do something where we can't watch him he will cry and try to dig his way out. We have tried putting him on a stand but he tries to come over to us. I am worried that we have already spoiled him any advice would be appreciated.
As I understand it you should only give your newly brought home bird the attention you'll realistically be able to give it on a regular basis rather than bombarding it with cuddles, strokes and affection at a level which you won't be able to maintain.

I've done loads of research on this very subject as I'll very soon be bringing my two baby CAGs home and I want to get it right!
