They don't seem to have learned, specially Piper and I think Zuri is really curious about her.

When they do fly to the same gym or in that area, my boyfriend or myself are quick to move them. Petey is getting better, but I don't still entirely trust her yet. At least she gives us enough time to get the birds off the gym before she'll think of going after them.

At least your birds are on sort of a level playing field. All about the same size (except lovebird) and same capabilities. With Senegal + Budgie it's hard because she could tear it to pieces if she really wanted to :?

I'll want a Cape parrot one day..have you seen the beak on those guys??

Wonder how the dynamics of the flock will be then.

Actually I've never seen a cape parrot in person and all the pics I've seen don't give a good clue about scale!!! I wonder how big they are sitting next to a Senegal. Maybe one day when you get one you can take a picture of it next to a Senegal or Meyers so we would know.

They are bigger.
I think they compare to grey size..between a timneh and a congo.

They have quite the big beak...somewhat disproportionate but I find it what makes their charm :)
