i got an alexandrine last week, he is 13 weeks old and was hand-reared. i have read that i shouldn't let him perch on my shoulder, but as soon as i open his cage he gets on my hand and heads straight up there. nothing seems to stop him he always wins in the end. what can i do?

Thanks for the advice. I'll get a start on it tomorrow and will post some pics in a week or two.

Hi everyone, I will be getting an IRN in a few weeks. In the meantime I want to build a play area/perch. I was thinking of using braches from my grape vines. Do you think the wood will be too soft and easily destroyed. I also have a number of apple and citrus trees, would they be better for the job ...
