ha ha ha ha. Lynch...tooo funny. with pitch forks and torches! ha ha ha

Deffinetly lots of toys, and change them around daily (switch them to make it interesting). Put a cartoon channel on for him to be "stimulated" or a radio, foraging toys, cardboard boxes for him to chew on, wood chunks, foraging toys. Keep him busy. I think he might be screaming becuase he has sepereation issuse. Teach him to be a little more "indepndant play"!

He's got numerous toys in his cage, althrough he rarely plays with them. I've been working with him to try and teach him how to play, and he has been making slow progress. After a month of working with him he's begining to play with one of them. I also do leave the TV on while I'm gone, usually on the discovery channel, but I'll try the cartoon channel since it will have more fluxuations in vocal patterns where as discovery tends to be very monitone. I'm definately thinking it's a seperation issue. He's had two previous owners and I have a feeling that someone has always been home with him as he always wants to be held and interacted with. I can have him on my arm for 2 hours straight put him down and he wants to step right back up.
