Gradually getting there

[Deleted]

Millet consumption has increased greatly this week, as has vacuuming the floor as a result, but it's nice to see them so eager to fly over, even if just for treats.




They're getting good at waiting if the millet goes away, unless Yuki decides to drive Indie away. I might need to work on separating them for more training now that Indie is taking an interest.

Lovely photo and great progress.

It's really nice being able to interact with them like this, and to take them home for the night by hand rather than by stick. Plus it means that if something does happen like one of them slipping out of the room I stand a better chance of retrieving them.

Still trying to work out the dynamic between them. Yuki seems to be the more dominant, but he eats when Indie eats and follows where Indie goes. Quite interesting. But baffling when Yuki drives Indie off of a perch then immediately follows Indie to the other perch.

Such an achievement! Every little step with these cute buds feels like winning a prize!! 🥰

Your birds have chosen a very kind and patient mum for themselves 🧡

mona My level of patience varies drastically. 😂 But it has improved since settling into work and my partner moving in.

Slow and steady wins the day @sillycat84.

jellybean It does indeed. They still move away if my hand just comes towards them, but we can work on that too. I might need to go back to basics with that and just put my hand in the cage. If he's eating millet I can now pass my other hand over Yuki though.

Great progress @sillycat84.
