Heya, just joined the forum because I found it extremely informative compared to other forums I've come across in the past.
Anyways, I've had for over half of my life, and I can't imagine not having a bird in my house. I currently have 3 awesome roaming somewhere... nah, they're napping right now. Boo-Boo is the oldest at 10. He's a special needs because he was mutilated by a previous owner when he was under a year old. He's doing great, though, and he's very happy, healthy and full of love and cuddles. Junior (Joo-Joo) and Zucko (Zoo-Zoo) are 3 years old. Even though it's an odd number, all three are best friends, and constantly create a triangle to chit-chat and play so that no one is left out.
I recently added 2 to my feathered family. I've had them for a year, and am having a bit of trouble taming them. Ben is very intelligent, very stubborn, and tends to hold grudges if you do anything to his disliking. Max, on the other hand, is a bit of an attitude dummy. I'm sorry, Max, but really now, you've been here for a year and still can't figure out how to go in your cage. I think he's just playing games with me here 'cause he definitely knows how to go in for night-night, and just doesn't want to. He'd rather I put him in 'cause he thinks he's special. Yes, Max, you broke your leg before I got you, but y'know it healed a year ago. Anyway, even after a year I still can't get them to step-up or anything. Max did have a huge break-through today, though.
All of my birds live in one cage because when I set the two cages near each other they had other ideas. The tiels simply snuck into the keet cage behind my back. I tried removing them, but the keets wouldn't settle down until the tiels were back in with them so one cage it was. It doesn't really matter, though, because they roam the house freely from 7:30 in the morning to whenever it gets dark every single day.
Anyway, I have MBS, please help.
