Well its been a while since they came out by themselves
but today they did it again!
I've been leaving their cage open every morning for about an hour or more.

Here are some pictures of Sawyer + Scout's tail

Realized after I returned them to the cage that I didn't snap any pics of Scout and now I feel bad...

Also Scout was kind of twitching his wing and lifting it up. I looked and there are some feathers poking out from under his wing so i'm pretty sure thats what's making him uncomfortable. He doesn't appear to be in pain. I tried to help him but he managed to fix the feathers himself.

ANYWAYS... just thought I would share.

Bonus Sawyer and Scout

Thank you Ann.. I sometimes wonder if in a few years from now they will be even more trusting... :yellow1:

Are they your only two birds? Perhaps putting them in separate cages that are place next to each other could help. Then you could work with them one on one and gain trust.

Yes they are my only birds. I've had them since November. They are practically inseparable... This actually sounds like a good idea but I wonder how it will affect them. When they fly out of the cage they will follow each other and scream if they can't see each other. They sleep next to each other, eat together etc... Also there would be the matter of buying another cage.

I actually would like to try this now though.. Maybe someday

Yeah I think 9f you did do it you would need to make sure they can still see each other well from their cages and maybe being together on the gym will convince them to come out of their cages. Good luck

Just an update.. Scout has come out of his cage 3 days in a row now. He climbs to the top and will fly down after a while.. Sawyer then follows him and they have some fun on the floor. :D It makes me so happy!
