Ok, I have some answers to the toy question, from reading past posts. I've always wanted to get some parrot toys! They look so much better than some of the hamster and gerbil stuff! Now I'll have the chance! (hey, I'm easily amused j/k) :o) Thanks in an indirect way. :o) I heard that gliders may nip when they are young, like a puppy. Is this true? How would I discourage it? With my family's dog, we just tapped her on the nose when she nipped. Not to hurt her, just startle. After a few weeks she kept the nipping to a bare minimum (mostly when she got too excited while playing or wrestling). Anyway, would something to that effect work with a glider? I wouldn't do anything that would hurt the glider or diminish its trust in me. Please tell me if this is too "cruel" for a nippy glider.
