Did you ever manage to clean the cages or was there always a bird napping in them? I managed to finish. The birbs all woke after about twenty minutes so I got stuck in. At birb bedtime, the two tiels were either on or right next to me and were sleeping up until I got up to go to bed. Coco is now on the foot stool, Quincy on a sky snake. Coco spent most of the evening a couple inches from my elbow and hissing at me, randomly. She's becoming much more tolerant of me!

I am so glad that you're having a good experience with Coco and Quincy. I've read more than one online post about people being ready to give up on their Cockatiels too soon - not that I would expect it from you.

Earlier, Griffin was sitting at a food dish. I told him what a handsome, sweet bird he is. He chirped and fluffed his cheeks. Topaz suddenly flew over and nudged him aside, as if to ask "What about me?"

It's lovely when a budgie trusts you.
I do hope one of mine will eventually.
I really miss Max coming over to me randomly.

I've read about a lot of birds liking those paper towel tubes. I showed one to Sprite (Sun Conure) and she panicked! She flew off my shoulder and landed into a toilet - which was empty at the time. I rinsed her with water in the sink. Maybe I should try leaving a tube on the play stand in the bird room.

Do you have any stand-alone play stands/gyms, or a small table for a gym to go on? What really helped me was sitting in a chair beside the play stand, with millet. They began using the stand, and I kept sitting beside it, holding millet.

A picture of Thunder from earlier today. Our dear mild-mannered gentleman (Griffin is similar).

I have a T perch that was on my table, but Max was the only one to show any interest, so I moved it near there cages and now they use it. Trouble is also, my 5 year old (child) is quite loud, so the birds wont really come near her. It's lovely when a budgie trusts you. I do hope one of mine will eventually.

We are being held hostage in our own lounge. Barney is very insistent that we are not allowed out 😂. Fingers getting pecked if we get close!

Marianne Marlow DH took one for the team and got pecked but managed to persuade Barney onto a hand and back in the cage. I think he was settling down for the night and we were disrupting his roosting!
