Sorry about not having been on in forever. I've been up to my eyeballs in work and getting a pen put up for my dogs in the yard.
Aeros has been doing very well with his noises. He now makes all of his sounds in front of me (all day and very loudly) so no more sleeping in late for me! He wolf whistles, calls the dogs (whistle), laughs, makes kiss noises and a few of his own things. I've heard him mumble hello a few times. and he ALWAYS wants to be out of his cage.
Sunny is still a pretty calm and quiet bird, at least until the past week. but I'll explain that in a minute. She has become bonded with my little sister and pretty much only likes for her to hold her.
Now for the biggest update! Sunny and Aeros have started breeding. This was not at all planned and we were unsure of Sunny's gender for a while because of her being a lutino. I'm not sure if they have successfully mated yet, but I got them a nesting box yesterday and put it in their cage. If anyone has any tips or suggestions to help me out (this is the first time I've had birds breed. Ive had kittens, puppies, bunnies and guniea pigs as newborns never a bird) I would greatly appreciate it!!! Also if anyone could direct me to a site or know of the possibly color mutations they may produce it I'd be very thankful!
