I must say, Ergo seems to be doing better. He now plays with his toys and eats with me in the room. He used to not eat when he saw me watching, but now glances at me every few bites and goes back to his seeds. However, when I praise him from my bed as he's eating, he promptly goes back to his favorite corner, fluffs up, and sits there. He also hasn't eaten anything besides his seeds, save for nibbling on some cuttlebone.
Also, he barely makes any sounds. The day I brought him home he chirped once when he heard the phone, the next day he only made one sound as well, and today he gave out two little 'peeps'. Other than that, he's silent. Is this normal because he's still not totally comfortable in his new environment or could the pet shop workers have been mistaken when they told me he was a male?
