One bird or two?

I was just wandering how you set up your house having multiple birds. Do you have them all in the same room just different cages or different rooms different cages?

One room, all different cages.
However, I do let them out together in the room and in my living room (I have standing and hanging gyms in there as well).

One side of the room with some cages


Other side, with more cages


General overview of the living room installations (there are a few more perches/gyms out of view) can been seen in this video.

Natacha, I'm sure you've been asked this before, where do you get your toys? Specificaly the coconut foraging toys and the hanging sphere-like perches.

Also, general question, are some birds more prone to aggression? When I was younger and knew very little about budgies, I had one for a few months, and when I got him a friend I just put the other bird in there with him and they never had a problem with eachother.

I'd like to ask you a question too Natacha. Do your birds use the Lovely Bunch of Coconuts toy? I've been thinking about getting one.

NotScared... a lot of her toys are from Starbird which I love. http://www.estarbird.com/

The JollyBall is also an awesome toy (though expensive) but my senegal LOVES it. http://www.jollyballs.net/10_inch_jollyball.htm

I got the coconut foraging toy at the Canadian Parrot Conference last November and got one today from a local pet store, the same pet store I got the "Bunch of Coconuts" in the birdroom. The foraging sphere I got on an online bird store. I've seen both (the sphere and the foraging coconut) on sale on multiple online bird stores.

I think aggression is more a bird personality issue, each on is different.

They do, specially Zuri. I hide treats in some of the coconuts, alternate which ones and they have to look in each to see what is hidden in them.

I haven't actually bought anything from Starbird directly..always through other stores

You can get them cheaper depending where you go, depending on how many toys come with it. I got the red one for $25 or so. It didn't come with much, a few toys and the hardware and I added to it afterward.
