IRN going away for 6 weeks

[Wolf]

I agree that it sounds like he will be just fine with you in fairly short order and I am so happy that this worked as well for you and him as it did. Thank you for answering me.

Wolf, I visited roughly every 5 days. I stayed about 2 hours and sat on the sofa talking to him, giving him the odd treat and just hanging out. On the first visit when I took him out the cage he flew to my shoulder and started squeaking, dancing and nibbling on my ears. When I first got him he used to nip at them out of curiosity but managed got him out that habit, now he's obsessed with nibbling at them.

I think he was and may still be a little angry at me for leaving him. He still listens but has a shorter temper than before, I think in time he'll get over it

Yes, he will. I also think they are more confused than angry because, in nature, they are never separated from their loved ones.
