Kili and Truman Share Cage Area

I've had Truman for exactly a month now and I provide a brief outline of the progress we have made in this time. Then I share a picture and video of the new cage layout since moving Kili's cage back to the bird area next to Truman. Finally I share about how they played together on Kili's cage top.

I really wasn't expecting them to get along in such a short period of time! And I'm very surprised that Kili is letting him in her territory. Great work, Michael!

She isn't, I'm just forcing them to tolerate each other. If I can get them to sit on the same 12 inch perch, then getting them to sit a bit further apart in a natural circumstance is even easier. Yesterday I had them out on the floor to play. Kili didn't even try to attack him. She played with some stuff and then mostly focused on coming over to hand out with me. She didn't pay any attention to Truman at all. Things are definitely beginning to work out.

If you mean the water bottle it is a reflection of that is behind it that gives it the funky color :lol:

Actually it's cause Truman is behind the bottle and he's green.

Hi Michael:

That looks pretty good. At first, you can see Kili giving Truman a bit of "stink eye" but toward the end of the video, she has softened.

It's so funny to see her scratch her head when she wants to be petted. All three of my Senegals do that. They do it to people and they do it to each other. It is such a clear communication...."pls scratch my head". Only my Senegals do it...not the greys.

I think you are on the right track to helping them learn to read each other and also, teaching them to be flock mates.

Thx!

I noticed you use water bottles for your parrots. What brand do you use? The ones I've bought so far haven't been working and I'm not sure which brands work well.

I use glass bottles from Lixit, they are great. The metal frame keeps them totally secure and allows easy access for cleaning and changing water. They are pricey though :P.
