Well thank you Paula 
Trafford has now been with me for three weeks. He was very well behaved on the three and a half hour journey home after being collected from Paula and Rick, sitting quietly mostly apart from the odd whistle.
He was very nervous for the first few days and would tremble and run away when I approached him, this got better with time and after three days or so he was letting me stroke his beak through the cage bars.
Then after another day or two he started being more friendly out of the cage too and would let me stroke his head and beak. Then he started to grab my finger with his foot and would not let go
He is now a very friendly bird, always wants to be out of the cage and on my arm or shoulder, he pings the cage bars like a guitar string to let me know he wants to come out.
He is talking very well and says dozens of words/phrases as well as all sorts of weird and wonderful other sounds. He gives a large burp every time I open a can, always says Nite nite when I cover him and Good morning Trafford first thing in the morning.
He is also now imitating my voice as well as other sounds he has heard here.
He is eating quite well, not much in the way of pellets at the moment but he loves his fresh veg, fruit and palm oil on toast
All in all he is a lovely bird and over the next few days will be getting to know Zuri, Ruby and Storm
More to follow soon
