We like to have Gonzo play independently on her playtop or manzanita stand for the majority of the time she's out (usually between 5-9 on weekdays and most of the day on the weekends). She does get about ten minutes of cuddle time in the evening and the frequent head scritches as we walk by her, but I'm afraid that too much cuddle/human time will make for a needy bird. We rarely having problems with her begging to come out or screaming when someone leaves the room and I attribute that a lot to how creative she is on her own and that she loves to play with her toys.
So I guess my answer is that you may be fostering some unwanted behaviors that could stick. Grey's aren't as demanding as 'toos physically and emotionally but I'd be afraid that separation anxiety when he can't come out of the cage or when you're not home could potentially be detrimental to him.
But then again, I'm no expert!
