Rick,
    You may never get anymore out of your new B&G than what you have right 
now....first off you'll have to establish trust, and that comes with 
routine......you are routinely kind, considerate...consistant.  This is a 
ery
tramatic occurance for a bird to change homes...give 'em some time and they 
will come around .. but don't expect too much at first.  My B&G I got at 9 
mon.  And after sitting and repeating the name over and over, he never said 
his name, but one morning, the first thing he said was "I love you"...to this 
day, he says lots of stuff, but he still hasn't said his name yet !!
