Thank you, Pinkpill Stitch hasnt come out his cage as yet. He's only been with me for a week on thurs and we're still trying to get to eachother i was advised by the breeder not let him out for the first few weeks so he gets too know his surroundings!

I talk to Stitch everyday except today as i was busy, in the morning.  But he had all my attention from 12-2 where i sit and have my lunch and talk to him.

when he started chirping i was worried as i was even in the room to scare him or panic him! Im hoping to get him a female companion the end of this week any other advice will be more than apperciated :love3:

i only ever give my new chippies a few days to a week to get used to their cage, you'll find if when you first let him out, dont give him any food or treats that day or top his food up, and this will make it much easier to get him back into his cage at the end of your day just by topping his food up, and giving him some treats and a bit of fruit, and he'll soon smell it and/or hear it and rush to go back in  :icon_biggrin: start as ou mean to go on  :icon_biggrin: they have top notch memories, like an elephant  :sign10:
