What happened is that your weaned baby bird reverted. In most cases, what he associates with cuddling is being handfed. So, to get cuddled, he fusses as if he were hungry. Try offering soft warmed food from the tips of your fingers. Keep his weaning foods in his dishes and weigh him daily. If he loses weight, you may want to call your breeder for more suggestions. Its not at all uncommon for weaned babies to revert. Try to be kind but firm or else he won't want to wean at all.
