I'm guessing they will. If I am still for a long time, I have noticed that mine rest, I am part of their flock. When I get up they become lively again. But if I lay down on the sofa for a nap, they shout at me as if to say you "oi you, are you dead? get up!" You got up, so they did too I think there is a research paper in this. Hypothesis to test - when I stand up with my phone ready to take a picture do they get up Vs when I stand up without my phone in my hand 😂

When I take my reading glasses off, sit back in my chair and close my eyes, Buddy and Tweetie Pie start buzzing my head - honestly they do! It does create a nice little breeze.

That's right, see! They want to make sure you're okay, I'm sure of it. Or they're seeing if you're dead so they can eat you When I take my reading glasses off, sit back in my chair and close my eyes, Buddy and Tweetie Pie start buzzing my head - honestly they do! It does create a nice little breeze.

I've put Penny in with George by the window today. She likes to stare out the window. Of course the cage is locked!! It's a nice sunny day, actually looks like it wont rain today, amazingly.

Will they interact much or is Penny just content to look out the window? No rain here either, just cloudy.

Sometimes they sit next to eachother and sing, but no beak bashing, feeding or preening goes on. I've let George out now for a fly about. Penny is content to sit on the seed trough and look out of the window. Will they interact much or is Penny just content to look out the window? No rain here either, just cloudy.

She’s a content little lady isn’t she? It’s nice she will sit and sing along with George. I don’t suppose she had much ‘romance’ or fuss before and probably tells him that’s as far as it goes and to not try any funny business.

I put a Kevin with some millet in it at the bottom of Penny's cage and a couple of bells. I thought I heard her at the bottom of the cage, but it turned out she was just trying to chew up the newspaper while hiding under it. When I came over she made a hasty exit up the ladder! Can you spot her in the first photo?

I see her but it took a few seconds I have to say. I’ve not seen mine hide under the paper yet. Jasper’s new trick is picking up a Kevin and throwing it in the water dish.

Mango often hides under her paper, so I did find Penny quite quickly. . She usually does it only when the boys are in the aviary.

Yes, I see her. Silly little girl peeking out! Also took me a minute or two.

I noticed yesterday that some of Penny's tail coverts have grown back. I wonder if she'll get a tail soon.

Fingers crossed! She’s settled and happy so it would be brilliant if they come back.
