They chew and chew and chew to keep their beaks worn down. Else the beaks (and toenails) must be trimmed. (Dremel tool)
They chew wood stuff within reach. Make sure that isn't your guitar.
They also nest in holes in hollow trees. So places like half-open drawers and guitar soundholes are places they are drawn to. So free-flying birds in the house can be real problems. (ours stay clipped as it also improves their attitude to have to bum a ride rather than do as they please)
None of the three care about my guitar playing. One seems to like calypso music on the stereo - it probably reminds him of when he was a young bird in the jungle 40 years ago (that one is over 50 if not older)
