some good advice please

I recently just underwent major shoulder reconstructive surgery and i have not been around my bp all that much because of all of the crap i have been dealing with. we still hold him from time to time and feed him on a regular basis. but ever since we have stopped holding him as much as we use to he seems to be more agressive towards us when we go to pick him up. we have always fed him in another cage. he seems as if he is going to strike at us when we go to pick him up. what do we do to make him trust us again. he always seems very aggitated. thanks for any advice you may have!

Has he tried to strike? Mine sometimes get in a defensive pose when I open the tub but then tuck their heads when I go to pick them up. I've heard of people touching them with empty water bottles to get them to ball up before pulling them out, maybe try that?
