Well what could u do wrong? set off to your local pet store and make sure they know how to trim nails. spray the bird wit A .windex bottle filled with water. make sure to rinse out the windex before adding the water to spray for a bath

I don't know about the poop, I just carry a pocket full of tissues around lol. With the wing flapping it just helps them balance and get some lift. Clicker training is when you have a little thing that you press when they do something right and it clicks. So they instantly know what they are getting rewarded for. And for that spray bottle tip you can buy a spray bottle pretty much anywhere to prevent the risk of spraying chemicals on your bird, they are no more than 2 bux. :) and the bird probably wants to be on your head because A, it likes being up high or B, it likes grooming your hair. Hope this helps and good luck birdies are great!
