He just doesn't want to be touched

Ok, so far he takes a treat fine from my hand! I have let him out and all he does it sit on top the cage, no problems at all! For the past 2 days he has started talking.. He can say I Love You, pretty bird, hello, shut up and makes some kind of monster sound! He says other things, but I can't make it out! He is doing well on gloop and fruitsand veggies ! One thing he has started today, when I come to his cage he jumps at me, I never bother him when he is in or out the cage, so why is he acting like he wants to attack me all of a sudden?? He does not do this when he is out of his cage... I must have done something to piss him off, but I have no clue what it is

No, you have not, this is him being territorial and defending his home.

What do you mean 'he jumps at me'? Try describing what you do, the way he looks before he 'jumps' and what the 'jump' actually is -him jumping up as if startled or does he stretch out to get close with his beak open or does he actually try to jump on you? Is he clipped? And, if he is not, do you know if used to be clipped?

Twice yesterday he jumped towards me (towards me with beak open) when I walked by his cage! It was out of the blue and today he hasn't done it at all ! That robot voice ugh scary !! He has a lot to say, but most of it I have no clue what he is saying

Still sounds to me like he is territorial about his cage. It would help if you could get a picture of this action and post it. My Senegal is territorial about her cage and lunges to bite if she is in the cage but if I just let her come out on her own then all is well and she doesn't try to bite at all.

Yea that's how he is doing... If he is out of his cage he doesn't bother a soul ! Do most blue fronts sound mechanical when they talk , or is it just him?

Myrtle has many voices. When she uses Rambo's words she sounds like him. When she is mocking me she sounds like me. Things that she comes up with on her own comes out in a little sissy voice. She speaks smoothly and never mechanical. And she talks a lot even butting into conversations. When she can't think of words fast enough she just baby blabbers.

My bluefront sounds like a sweet little girl, not a mechanical voice at all.

Both my Grey and my Yellow Nape Amazon have this low gravelly sounding voice but they also have a higher pitched very sweet and smooth voice.
