So Peaches is a biter. A very aggressive biter!! She's very cage territorial and has bitten me when out for exercise. I have done the tips given to me by Dallytsuka and have only given millet by my hand while they are in the cage. This seems to have helped a great deal as they get uber-excited to see me now!

I am happy to report that my lovies have decided my hubby (and me as well sorta!! LOL) are an acceptable friend. While flying around last night, my hubby was able to have them rest on his BARE HAND (!!!!!). Previously, this woulda have been a demonstration of bravery by us! I also was able to carry them both on my arm back to the cage with minimal fuss! YAY!!

I know this is a small thing, but I feel this is a HUGE step towards gaining their trust... :D

You've made excellent progress in gaining your birds' trust. Peaches and Tom Tom are very pretty Lovebirds, sweet photo.
