Hello! Long time, no post! I wanted to drop in, say hi and share recent photos of my wild ones. Boomer is doing very well. I like the 2016 Boomer better than the 2015 Boomer. He is more loving, has less attitude and we have a better understanding of each other. He hardly bites anymore (knock on wood) which was a big issue in 2015. If he does bite, I'd give him a timeout in the living room so he can calm down and realize he did something I did not like. I close the door behind my bedroom so I can also be on my computer and have some peace and quiet for a while. I'd come out and see that Boomer's crawled back in his cage or perched by the window, a lot calmer. It's worked great so far.
Pewpew and Kiki are awesome, smart and playful little budgies. They adore Boomer and follow him everywhere. Boomer's gotten better at 'tolerating' them. He'd give them a warning lunge when they get too close, but never actually biting. I was worried at first but realized he does not intend to hurt and the budgies are way too fast for him anyway. I think he secretly likes them because I'd catch them playing 'tag' by themselves where they'd fly between the living room and the bathroom. He'd also crawl in their cage and perch in the evenings when I'm cleaning the cages. He just doesn't like them touching him. I hope someday he'd let them get close. All in due time.
Here they are soaking up the sun in the indoor garden:
... and here is Boomer drying in the sun with Kiki (Yellow) and Pewpew (blue) and Pewpew (blue). They all like to join me in the shower. I leave the bathroom door open so they can fly in. Boomer would be on my shoulders before long. The budgies, then they feel like it, would wait for splashes on the bathroom perch or just perch atop my head if they want the full experience. Not today though:
