Sorry I haven't been here since I first joined, leaving just a handful of notes. Shortly after joining, I had computer issues and took it in to see what was going on, since it wasn't even a yr old! It had to be sent out and so I had no access to this forum until I got it back. Anyway, I'm back and just wanted to leave a post...hope this was the right place for it. 
My conures are now a yr old and doing great! Just today, I noticed something they were doing that I hadn't seen them do before...feeding each other, just like parent birds do! I was surprised. They are both happy and have the run of the place when I open their cages. Celebi finally sprouted flight feathers, so I don't have to worry about that anymore, tho she does fly really fast thru the house and I'm afraid she's going to get hurt. When she first discovered she could fly, she kept smacking into things. Now she seems to have gotten her bearings about where things are in the house and has successfully avoided them. Tyghe, on the other hand, has suddenly become very bitey! Maybe he thinks she's getting more attention (which she is because she's so much more docile). I have delicate skin, and when he bites me, it tends to bleed a lot. He's a sneaky one. I keep trying to do "ladder" technique daily, and he'll look at me and put one foot up to my finger, then suddenly bites me! grrr But I keep trying. They're both such sweeties and we enjoy their interaction. They are hams for the camera! I know I need to post some pix.
