    i hope so too. when i got pantalaimon, he used to cry like that all time. he cried when he was scared too. my other two birds didn't like him and they were really mean to him and so he would cry all the time to them, trying to get them to feed him. he was a sad little guy, but now he's a boy boy and a dad and he's the biggest bird i have so no one can boss him around anymore so yes, i sure do hope your bird is just crying cuz he's still a baby and wants attention. just weigh him and make he's eating. i'm sure someone on here w/ more experience can tell you what to do if he's not eating.

    Wow, look at that face....he is just adorable! Please take good care of him, and hold him and make sure he is eating enough.....I hope that the crying stops soon.....poor little guy! If he's getting enough to eat and keeping his weight, then he'll get over the crying and get used to you and his new home.
    I hope that someday people can understand that it's not "just a bird,"
    but the very thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a
    human."

    How long ago did you clip his wings and how many feathers did you clip on each wing? A good wing clip will still allow him to glide to the floor or other landing surface. All you really need to clip are the outside 5-7 flight feathers on each wing. That will still let him fly straight ahead, to a certain point, and glide in for a landing rather than falling if he tries to fly.
