The twins are getting along about the same as before. :green1::green1:
Out of the cage they get along fine. They groom each other and fly around at the same time.
When inside a cage even with the door open it always ends in squabbles. When that happens usually it is Luna that leaves the cage.
I have watched video of these guys when they are in a flock and they squabble with each other even when they have all the great outdoors to move around in. It's just not what I am use to. With Pacho and Plumas the hardly ever argued about anything but they were both mature birds and my two are still young.

Bingo is a rock. He is the same as always but he has been hit on the head with hormone overload. I have to handle him like a live grenade.

I recorded a video of him dancing with the twins watching with interest.
Unfortunately I did not realize I had my finger covering part of the lens.

The twins eye color is slightly different. That's the best way to tell them apart. In the photo the colors are not quit right.
Behavior is the second way. Luna fly's with a purpose going for here to there. Merlin flys for the fun of it I think.

Talking on the telephone gets them all noisy and I have to into a bedroom and close the door or it's mission impossible.

it's never a dull moment.

What kind are the two on top of the cage? They look very intent on listening and seeing what is going on in the cage. I love the dance moves of your yellow naped! Looks like he is having so much fun swaying and putting on a show!

For Luna and Merlin, are they caged together or do they sleep separately? Have they been together since they were hatched?

The 2 most common names are Green Cheek Amazon and Mexican Red Headed Amazon.

Sorry I missed that last question.

They are caged separately. Merlin is still young going on 3 years old and very playful.
When they are in the same cage Merlin always starts something.
5 hours has been the longest time in the same cage (and door closed) 3 is about the average.
I just let them out at the same time. They groom each other and fly around, play on the play gym.
I know Luna want the company and has become very possessive and jealous of Merlin. When I pick up Merlin she gets really upset and makes this special scream that makes my eardrums meet in the middle of my head.:headwall:
