I'm not as experienced as some others on this forum, but I can tell you that whoever said all Eastern indigos are mean and don't make good pets is talking out his ___. My indigos are quite "friendly". Yes, they get very excited when it's feeding time, and you need to be careful, but characterizing them as mean is absolutely inaccurate. I don't think I could get mine to bite me if I tried. And I use mine as educational presentations, no problem at all being handled and petted for fairly long periods of time. Maybe you friend just unluckily got a bad seed, but without knowing details, my wild guess is that something is wrong with the husbandry that is causing the "mean" behavior. Again, just a guess...

Thanks,
Ed
