Well, first of all we have changed his name. Rascal just seems more like a fuzzy critter type name to me and I just couldn't get used to calling a bird by it. His new name is Solo, as in Han Solo (since we already have Yoda).
I think he will take a longer time to adjust than my other birds did. We had an incident the other day where I was able to get him out of the cage on a perch, but he panicked, escaped, and flew around in terror while we tried to round him up in as swift and non-predatory manner as possible. It still scared him though. We were going to take him to the vet after he had settled in more, but I was very concerned he was going to badly hurt himself flying into stuff (he flew into a few things when he escaped), so we took him to the vet yesterday to get his wings clipped and get him checked out while we were there. He's still pretty upset with us.
I suppose we will just give him as much time as he needs to settle in and warm up to us.
