Rose-
well maybe you should try keeping him in the living room...
IF the bird room is a room that doesn't see enough human
activities or traffic to fulfill his needs.
Your bird may not care about being around other birds
nearly as much as being around you, your hubby and other humans.
:)
Could be too that there's too many other birds in the bird room and he's feeling a little threatened, or overstimulated. (I don't know how many other birds you have...) But I'm only basing that assumption on the fact that he readily quiets down when under the cover for the night.
Maybe he feels less threatened or intruded upon when away from the other birds (in the living room).
Also, there is the chance that he/she is just going to attach himself to your hubby and unfortunately, there's not much you can do about that, except show the utmost patience and keep plugging away until he gets the idea that YOU are his best buddy, (the one who feeds him, cleans his cage, changes his toys, gives him treats, etc) and not your husband.
Is your husband a "bird person" too? Or is he like many husbands (and like mine) who like birds enough to pet them once in a while and that's about it?
If he's also a bird person, well then it sounds like he's got himself his own little birdy pal. If he's not really interested in being this Quaker's human best friend, then I have to go back and repeat the idea that only time and extreme patience has a chance of changing that for you.
Savvy* Keep us posted!
