Bean looks like he's doing very well adjusting. Love seeing him move around the aviary now. And the bathing is coming along!! Very nice!!

Oh his eye pinning at the walnuts and then when he discovered cashews lol. He’s so adorable. Is he afraid of flying though???

BirdTricks

I don't think he's afraid to fly, but he is hesitant to try because he does not have all his flight feathers in so he mostly flies downwards

You had mentioned that he had a fear of something you would show us working through. I was just guessing.

I noticed there were no pecans in the Treat Test -- is that a result of what you had on hand or is there a reason to exclude pecans?

Thanks for the info about peanuts. I guess is one of those foods like parsley, etc that it is up to the owner decide to feed it to his parrots or not, overestimating nutrition or parrots´pleasure despite the high toxic risk.

is it a thing for african greys to attack toys before they realize it’s not a threat but a fun object to play and destroy? I see Bean have done it too when you brought him the cardboard toy

BirdTricks

Some birds chew toys initially out of aggression - then realize it's fun and do it in a more calm state. I wouldn't say it's species specific though as I've seen it in all species.
