I recently rescued a 4 yr old B&G the info I was given is we are the 3rd home for him and his 2nd was apparently a 4 week bad experience. We have had him now for 6 weeks he steps up easily and is easy to move from his cage to his play stand but does not want to be touched at all .He will bite growl and lunge at you at any attempt to touch him he seems to be happy he talks pretty well but I have also noticed he gets very irritated at his toys.at times just could use some help want to do anything I can to make him more comfortable Thanks
