Hi rockybird,
yes, I am the one with the male Maximilian. Paco is still rather unpredictable but mostly because I still have to read his signs correctly. I cannot reach into his cage without him trying to bite me. So I usually let him come out which he likes and then wrap a towel around my arm and place him on a playstand. Then I go ahead and clean the cage, food and water. I work with him every day. He is social and wants to be close. He will let me pat his head once away from the cage and he loves it.
Paco is slowly trying to explore his surroundings. Although he is fully flighted he rarely does fly. This morning he climbed from his cage onto the window sil. He is out most of the day.
I am glad to hear that your pi / or your friends pi is eating well. Paco now started eating dried fruit. Nothing fresh yet. But hopefully he will.
It really takes time for the bird to be comfortable around you. Good luck with Max. Pionus are great birds and thank you for getting him out of his bad situation.
