Our Tags and Cags at work all do the digging thing for awhile too, its very important to get them accustomed to a routine, when its cage time its not time for cryign and temper tantrums, its time to be busy, give him stuff to do like veggies, wheat bread, etc..let him watch tv even, but dotn take him out when he whines, thats what hes doing is whining, how would you feel trapped in acage Id try to dig out too. But you must set the rules rigth away, even with an older bird in a new home, mine all learned screaming does not equal love and pets and that it equals dark and no people around. Make sure hes not sick and give im stuff to do and ignor ehim, its hard but hes got to feel comfy in his environment, and at home in his cage, hes turnign to you for comfort instead of his cage...maybe hang a towel fromt he top inside so he can walk under it and hide, mine like that, hell feel safer. hope that helps...
