Noddy is approx 6 months old, I say approx as I was sold him as a baby, but due to how he is, I feel he may be slightly older and possibly mis treated before we got him.... noddy is a lovely bird and I will be sad to see him go, but we were wanting a parrot that interacts with the family more.... he's let out of his cage every day but he doesn't leave the top of it... he doesn't fly around, he barks, tells us when it's ' bedtime love' he mimics the phone.... he can be hand fed, he just won't allow hand contact..... by any member of the family..... I'm sure if noddy had a lot more time spent with him, then he would become a more social parrot, but I'm not able to provide this
