They are lovely names. How are they both feeling now? Are they more settled?

criswell They are hyper active all day.. The cage covers are at risk.. they can practically nibble at anything and everything they can get hold of. It's a complete circus house! They are so active and always clinging to the ladder or a round swing.. Milli reminded us of Mishty when she started performing birdie version of somersault.. she practically tries to perform splits with her legs on the cage wall and tries to get her tiny body through! They are really little funny characters.. They blink eyes back at me and aren't too afraid when their cage is being cleaned. Milli has gathered the courage to watch me up close from the side of the cage closest to me, when I'm sitting there.. it feels like she is checking me out and there's love in her eyes, as per my interpretation.. She loved loofah, so we kept some tiny ones, along with cuttlefish bone & mineral block. You can find Milli all day in the bowl containing all these! Reva copied Milli and started eating greens - most leafy greens and grasses.. They haven't yet taken to mung beans. We gave them soaked mung beans and milli tried it a bit today, after ignoring it for a month.. we soak it for just 2 hours over here.. We added some millet spray baubles here and there today.. the same friend who sent ivermectin, also sent a lot of millet sprays for the birdies.. Other than Cookie, no one is crazy after millet sprays right now.. Milli and Reva's poops are so confusing. Past two days, it was wet and weird.. and today, it's back to almost normal.. Reva's poop changes from chalk white to Olive green to normal green sometimes.. Yesterday's 2 to 3 poops were yellowish brown and all wet and flat.. we aren't sure, but assume it's from Reva.. I have seen Milli poop a couple of times when I have been looking and it seems all green always.. I'm never sure what to post and ask on the forum, looking at them..! They are on probiotics, have been dewormed once and put on very mild antibacterial once. ACV on alternate nights, herbal tea during season change & multivitamin once.. they don't like multivitamin flavor yet.. planning to add milk thistle and aloe juice too. We really need a chart to add few herbal things to add to flock's diet every few days...on a rotational basis.. They have started cracking seeds, from regular seed mix, but I'm still introducing the seed mix very slowly, afraid if their poops might change again.. 🤦♀️ I haven't seen lices or abnormal itching behavior on Reva, also making me think if that brown thing wasn't lice but something else. She has been taking bath most of the days though..

Thank you everyone for the name.. I found a couple more girl names pretty... I'm always biased towards baby girls and therefore baby girl names too! Ziva: Spring Ahana - dawn Keya - Flower Kuhu - Cuckoo's voice Pihu - Sweet Aria - air Amaya - rain Hezz, nothing came to my mind for a boy name meaning rain, except this one: Rehaam - light/gentle rain And then there's "Rehaan" meaning fragrant/ sweet/ king

I'm really glad they are doing well. They sound like really lovely birds and I'm so happy that they have a new life with you.
Their poops do sound very confusing. I hope it's something that will settle down. Maybe it's their digestive system getting used to their new diet and the medications they've had.
Your list of names are all very pretty. I think Pihu is my favourite

I think don’t stress so much over the poops, add less supplements, more helpful foods so that they can supplement themselves if they need. If additives added to the water they don’t have the option to take or not, whereas if given the option in food form, especially leafy green herbs etc, they can self-medicate which is what the animal world is much better at than we humans. PS. thank you for the trouble of trying to think of a boy “rain”. When it is torrential wet season, I’ll try to remember that all that rain is female.
