Some questions.

Have the bird had bloodwork to rule out sickness? The roaches could have given him something and petstore life evidently wasn't good for him. How much time every day can you give him one on one and how much out of cage time can you give him? Can you keep your smaller birds away from his cage when you are home? Are you willing to either keep him permanently, or let him go when the time comes? Are you willing to take a chomp or two and go back for more? Are your friends willing to give him up permanently?

Macs are HUGE bluffers, and when some one shows fear they take full advantage of it lunging simply for the reaction. It could be the wife reminds him of someone who hurt him either emotionally or physically.
