He hates men or anyone not resembling me. Iv had him for 12 mths, and i tell you he has been a treat and also a nightmare. I love him and tolerate his screaming. My problem with him now besides yes, his chewing and screaming when he cant see me, his fierce attacking me when my hair is up. Iv bought him a mansion compared to what iv heard he came from. He has his own bedroom for time out and where he sleeps. He is i think 50 yrs old and has pulled all feathers around his torso from stress and boardem "before i took him on" im his mate and lets everyone no it. i dont think this will change. Iv had jumpers made for him as this is a cold climate in robertson nsw. He will leave it alone until i leave him alone. So now i run a heater in his room at night so he doest catch a chill. lol..its really like haveing an adhd kid with an attitude. but all in all im glad iv rescued him and he has a great home with someone who loves him and others who tolerate him.
