I can let Sweetpea (male Senegal), Isis (female redbelly) and Codee (female GCC) out at the same time but that's because the only one that rides my shoulder all the time they are out is Codee. Sweet stays on his cage (which he shares with Zoey, female Senegal, and which cannot be let out with any other bird that rides my shoulder, even if they are not at the time, because she would attack them) and flies here and there while Isis just flies all over the place and, every now and then, perches in front of me and asks for head scritches. But I have to keep my eye on Isis because she tends to bully poor Pablo (highly handicapped peachfront male and Codee's mate). And of the birds in the birdroom, I have to take turns with them on my shoulder and to be ever vigilant because Nando Jenday would attack Sophie Congo and Freddie Too would go for Nando Jenday, Sophie Congo and Pookey Timneh if they dare perch on me while he wants me to pay attention to him. Sometimes I have to bring a bird out to spend some extra one-on-one time because the others won't let me. It's a veritable juggling act and a complete pain in the you-know-where but that's the way it is when parrots love you...
