Did you get them from Gallery of Pets?
I'm also in Austin and used to work there so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
They are the only place I know here that cage trains (though I could be wrong). I also know that they have baby senegals right now. Senegals are awesome birds! I'm sure you will enjoy yours.

So cute! I love it when they still have the black eyes. I'm glad you've had a good experience with the shop.

Congrats on your new babies! I bet you can't wait to get them home. They're both adorable.
What is Cage Training? I've never heard that term before.

At the shop I worked at when a customer buys a baby bird they must bring the cage the bird will live in into the shop and set it up so the bird can live in it for a while. That way the bird will have something familiar when he goes to his new home and also insures that the baby is maintaining his weight in a cage. (the babies are kept in large open bins when they are being hand fed) It also allows the people who raised the birds (like me) to know that the bird will have a proper sized cage.
