That's good, that he eats well. You might consider picking up an
inexpensive gram scale, just so you can keep tabs on their weight.
Sometimes weight loss is the only way to tell a bird is beginning to
have a health problem. I check my pets' weights once a month or so, just
as insurance.
       he thinks that I'm suppose to feed him before myself...
Silly girl, you ARE! Didn't you read the fine print in the contract when
you bought him?

Sooner or later, he'll start following her lead. I have one tiel here
who isn't afraid of anything. Once Benny has looked the new item over
(Be it food, a toy or a perch), everyone else heaves a great sigh of
relief and goes to inspect it too.

Get a silk one. They don't need water, just dusting!
