HI Guys.

Happy to report Pete and Ethel, yes, Ethel, are happily getting along in their one large cage. Happy families :) Darling husband started calling the cockateil Ethel as a joke and its stuck.

Now, Still struggling to get her used to fresh foods. She's getting better, but in the meantime both of them will do anything for chickweed. Its a green, so I figure its better than nothing, but how nutritious is it really?

I really should google it but I'm being lazy and doing housework. :)

Chickweed is supposed to be pretty good nutrition wise, similar to spinach. If they like it then keep it up. Don't forget some pics NZ.
