Garrus is fine now :)
He had some crop bacteria so they gave me an antibiotic for him. He's got his follow-up in early July to make sure we got everything. I'm so, so happy he's going to be okay!
Only downside, he has gone back to not being cuddly at all. Damnit XD
EDIT:
Yeah, we got rid of all the nasty crap that was making him sick! He's even really calmed down so I think his hormones have leveled out <333

Wooooo, so glad to hear that Garrus is going to be ok! :D Hopefully the stand-offish teenager phase won't last too much longer and he'll get some of that cuddliness back. I had forgotten how awesome birds are when they are babies, though. My Grey still enjoys cuddling every now and then, but not as much as when she was wee lil' 'un (not to mention that anyone could hold her then).
Have you tried giving him the cardboard tube from a toilet paper roll to see what he would do with it yet? Gracie absolutely loves those things, but with Garrus you might get some extra entertainment from the fact that he could probably crawl right through it, heh.

He's a Pacific parrotlet, they're related to Amazon parrots despite they more greatly resemble lovebirds.
I've never had a lovebird, but they can be very finicky about who or what they bond with-- females tend to be one-person birds and if that person is not you, expect bites! Males are more relaxed around multiple people or other birds, but really it depends on a lot of factors like how it was raised, age, etc. The best kind of bird is a happy bird that doesn't need to be lonely, so keep on trying!

Good to hear he's gonna be alright! Sweet baby <3 And I spy those papercreatures I did for you a while back! :P
Birds are such wonderful babies. I wish I was able to have one! So much adorable and character. Garrus is lucky he has such a loving home in which to be a total loveable shithead in <3
