I kidnapped him away to the bathtub a couple times and though he chewed on me pretty good the first time (I had spray millet but he wanted blood! 
) I did get to scritch him pretty good, to where he bowed his head, rested his beak in my other hand and sat quite still. FYI before this I had not been able to touch him other than him perching on me or giving me kisses, so I was... Correction, AM elated 
He's still not too keen of the play-set I made him but I have it a couple feet from his cage hoping he gets used to it over time so he can chill out in the living room as we simmer down in the evenings. Right now he is thoroughly enjoying his little rattle foot toy (party favor bag at $1 store) as we get ready to bed down for the night. Oh yeah, any tips on good things for a home-made play-set? I have a five foot spiral "staircase" (perches) with a stainless steel chain railing going up to 3 18" dowel perches, all of which (perches) are one of three different diameters and most of which have a subtle spiral indent all along them (which was a pain to do!) to create slight differences in each perch. These are all threaded through 1.5" PVC piping which is bolted into a piece of wood covered by linoleum tile for easy cleaning. At the tip top there are four dowels with eyelet screws to attach toys, and I plan to put a few more eyelets into the long top perches for things like ladders, ropes and other toys. If there is anything else you think that would be cool to add to it, feel free to chime in!
These were taken just now on my iPhone, so not perfect clarity but you can get the general picture. The metal is nickle plated because I'm not a big fan of brass...
