Lincoln's has gotten a lot better at birding. I've been giving him lots of daily wing exercises and I guess it's boosting his confidence. He's using his feet more to do really anything and he's learned how to bypass his seed guard and get to the floor by going to the edge of the guard and jumping down which is NOT something he would normally do so it's definitely new behavior. He's also exploring his PVC playstand more, he use to only go around the top 2 tiers but now he's exploring the lower 2 tiers. He also only use to the take the longer 'easier' routes when exploring his cage/the stand but now he's taking the shorter 'harder' routes. Very proud of the progress my boy is making but dang is he a brat when he's feeling courageous lol!

He's also been letting me pet his head lately!

He also jumped off his cage and went and explore Apollo's cage (that is sitting in the room rn) and destroyed some of the toys... needless to say I guess Apollo's set up is pre-approved by a bird lol

He keeps sneaking to the floor while my back is turned ><
Excuse the slight clutter in the back, in the middle of cleaning out my dressers and closet of random junk I've 'hoarded' over the years xD

Does Lincoln try to sneak over to Apollo's house?? The instant I turn away Amy is climbing down from her mansion and beats feet to get to Beeb's place,before I intercept her! :mad: Still won't take NO! for an answer!!

He does! It doesn't help that I have a small box full of toys and some nutriberries for Apollo ontop of his cage. Especially doesn't help that I let Lincoln sample those nutriberries!

LOL yep! Amy has a ton of toys in her house and on top of her roof and hanging on her play top but she'd rather climb up on BB's roof and destroy HIS toys in five minutes then try to get INTO his house to nosh on HIS food and bang around whatever toys he has in there.
