Medical Issues/Concerns: Frayed tail feathers due to excessive rough playing. Has become quite a Biter! We continue to work at correcting this issue. Will also pluck out Chico's(GCC) tail feathers on occasion due to "morning" feeding aggression. This has been almost corrected as we water and feed the two FIRST!

Quirks, Habits, etc...: Loves to bully his brother Chico, loves to preen Chico, always tries to bite Chico's leg band. Is VERY clean and always bathing/grooming! Is a bit of a thief and escape artist! Loves his head scritched but not too much handling as of yet. Bites his toes and grabs his face with his foot. Is a little on the selfish side. He has to eat his first A.M. pellet over his water dish. He will grab the pellet, jump down to the bottom and run, and hop up to his water dish! Eats his pellets while they are floating in the water. Does much "head bobbing". Is big on "playing"! Escaped once after unscrewing one of the bolts to the door that is on the roof of his cage! Likes to throw his birdy ball around. Also likes to dunk his birdy ball into his water dish. Talks sometimes like Linda Blair in the Exorcist and exhibits behavior more geared to that movies theme :D
