Yeah, I'm convinced he's planned this and is much smarter than he lets on. He has his momma wrapped around his little wing feather.
I've limited his scritches today, and while he hasn't magically changed his habits overnight, I think he was perplexed when he didn't get the attention. Every time he nipped, I just walked away. We had some good out of the cage time, but we'll definitely need to work on the treat concept. He likes millet, but isn't at the point where he'll eat out of my hand. I'll need to set up some kind of stand for him. I have a great play gym, but no way for him to climb out of the cage on to something I have thought about a standing play gym, so that might be my next investment.
Thanks for all the input! I'll be browsing the link a little more closely when I can really read it in detail. I'm fortunate enough where I can come home on my lunch breaks and and least open up the cage for Tristan. Morgan is always eager to come out, and it's almost like Tristan *wants* to come out, but is scared.
Baby steps! I need to find a treat that will really make Tristan want to come out and socialize. I'm sure he'll enjoy that process!
