I will try some of her suggestions like the lighting. I'll try the second cage that I bought and put it on the nightstand and keep the millet in there and see if she starts to fly off of his cage. I'll put the play stand back on the nightstand by the window. I know Max won't go on it because I tried it before. I'l put more flat perches underwear his food oowels to make it easier for him to stand and eat on. And I'll get more shredding toys for the big cage and the second cage. Putting him in the living room is definitely a no.
