one thing about toys is swap them around every few weeks i.e dont let him have them all at once as it can stress them....try giving him some grated carrot
mine use to love it and a bit of rich tea biscuit lol
You will be able to get him to bond with you but it will take time ...we use to tame down wild parrots by just spending time talking and feeding titbits, then next stage would be to try and get the bird to step up onto a perch while holding the perch just under its chest....as time went on the perch got shorter till it was replaced by a finger or hand in case of large parrots lol
Im sure you'll have great fun together with the odd bite here and there

Nice
You'll have to bond with her before you can let her fly around. Trust me, I know from personal experience
But they are nice birds, none the less. I got a parakeet after mine escaped (remember the personal experience I mentioned? Oh and don't ask me how
), and he's simply adorable

that cage is more than suitable for 2
they will have plenty of room in there together....BUT a word of caution not all get on together, you are best keeping them side by side for a few weeks till they get use to each other...then put them together but keep an eye out as its usually the female's that can be aggressive!....good luck
