Hello everyone,,I wanted to let my qp out so that I could clean his cage really good, I have had him about 3 weeks. So I left his door open so he could fly out when he was ready, well he was ready right away. 
He landed on A curtain rod and spent the rest of the day preening and just being A bird, this was like 8 in the morning. He was there all day, and I was hoping he would fly back into his cage by himself for food and water as it was stated that he might do. Well no such luck,,so about 7:30PM I walked over to him as calm as I could be tried to get him to step up very easily pushing up under him then about 6 bites later (I was able to grin and bear it without pulling away), then he flew and try to land on A little piece of molding on my front door window that is at the top and very small. Well he could not hang on so he landed on the floor and I went and got A towel and picked he up, he didn`t fight or anything and I put him in his cage and he walked out of the towel and to his perch,, then he started to like pant like A dog ,,so I covered him up and told him good night like I always do. So for the past 2 days, he hasn`t said anything ,hasn`t squalked nothing and when I come into the room he just freezes and starts to pant again and starts shaking. I have tried to sit on the other side of the room and talk to him but the same thing happens no matter how close or how far away I am. It really breaks my heart that I scared my little love that bad! I need all the advise I can get. I am sure he is not hurt but we are going to see the vet on thursday, and I know is gonna be A bad time for him and he will probably hate me forever. Sorry that this is so long but I wanted to cover everything, I asked the vet to come to my house but that was A no. Thanks everyone in advance,,,I hope I do not have to give him up to someone that he is not afraid of.
