Two days later I'm feeding the baby, late morning, when I hear a wolf whistle from outside. He fucking came back! I went out and he happily chirped when he saw me and all was good.

Those bastards are very high maintenance and can make any animal lover snap.

Here's what you need to do..... it should work. Every morning take him into the shower with you and let him get all wet. It will take him several hours to preen himself and get all his feathers perfect again. By that time you'll be home from work. Also, buy 7 bird toys and switch them out every day. He's probably just bored.
