he is! he had just a few minutes out of his cage so far tonight, because my daughter wanted to visit with him before bedtime. and oh my! the hissyfit that ensued when he hopped into his cage and realized i closed the door after him! hahaha! jumping from shelf to shelf, pawing toys off so they'd clang on the bottom of his cage, grabbing palm leaf shredders from me and throwing them, turning his butt to me...... the boy has some spunk, lol, and i love it!
