After Bambam was weaned and came home we very s-l-o-w-l-y started introducing him to Spezi, our young Sun Conure. I didn't know if they'd ever get to be friends but I hoped that if nothing else they could co-exist while out of the cage, even if that meant separate tree stands etc...
Well, they have become friends. Spezi loves to preen and it just so happens that Bambam needs a lot of preening so it's mutually satisfying for them. They're like toddlers and after an hour or two they get into a squabble. It's like they're tired and need to go back to their respective cages for some "me time" or something. After 30-45 min I go back and bring them out into the living space again.
Even though they're friends I still keep a VERY close eye on them. There's quite a size diff and I know it doesn't take much for someone to get injured. I'm just happy they can get along. Spezi having someone to play with doesn't screech so much and that's a big bonus.
I'm enclosing a pic of them together. In this pic, Bam has a flip-top head. He literally flips his head completely back and the back of his head lays flat on his back. Is this normal??
