I actually got the camera because every morning for months there was a pile of dog poo in my parking lot but I couldn't figure out who it was (here they are supposed to pick up their dog poo) so I bought the camera and caught the guy. Best $300 I ever spent. You can controll it through most phones and of course any computer, good color and sound and night vision type of thing.

Ask my wife and I think she'd tell ya I got poo in the brain. I actually think paying so much attention to the birds' poo was a good thing though, even though I'd never owned birds I knew poo was the place look for trouble. That link you had was awesome.

I've had a pretty busy few weeks with work so not too much time to post but I've been reading a lot of the threads. This site just has amazing growth, so many new members and content every day.
PJ and PoPo are doing awesome. They've really fallen into a schedule now and when it's bed time they head off to their cage and wait for us to cover them up. This part of owning birds has gone just as we hoped it would go, they have the run of the house and go to their cage only to eat and sleep.
PoPo is at her lowest flying ability today with her feather loss but is still doing amazing for a bird with french molt. She isn't a crawler she can fly just enough. Today she didn't quit make it to the perchers on the play tree so fluttered back to the ground, hoped up onto the couch to get to a higher starting place and made it to the perches the 2nd try. What a clever little bird.
PJ's biting has subsided but he still gives me one or two painful bites on my eye-brow just to let me know he can anytime he wants.
They are both about 3 months old now and coming up on their first molt I believe, PJ has a mohawk thing going on with his head. Going to pop over to the hard boiled thread and ask about first molts.

Well if you insist ;D They are coo-coo for cucumbers. They get a combination of sprouts, carrots, cucumbers a basic seed mix and one with dried fruits and vitamins added to it as well so they are happy eaters. Today I stepped out for work for a bit and was surprised to find them on the same perch I left them on. Seems they don't do a lot of moving when I'm not around but as soon as I step in the room they stretch their little wings and legs and fly right to my shoulder. Can't help but smile every time. I've been blessed with 2 sons (12 and 10) who are best friends and play wonderfully together and now 2 birds who are great friends and play wonderfully together. They sleep side by side at the top of the cage every night now, no squabling.

They are so cute Really? so they don't squabble at all, lucky you mine do. I have them in 3 separate cages at night time and we go through the same drama every night. Snowy knocks Monty off his perch and in the other cage Roswell, Abbie and Jerry all squabble to get to the perch on the left.
