Gizmo - Male Eclectus Parrot
Pebbles - Female Eclectus Parrot
Pebbles seems to have gone through her hormonal phase. With this, Pebbles was desperate to find a nesting place, and would fly to me so we could search the house together for possible places (the fridge, the magical black tiles with the fourth dimension, above door frames, behind the towels on the rack, etc).
I think this has made Pebbles aware that there is a full house to explore, so, although her nesting efforts have faded, she has recognised that there are lots of potential places to explore, and we now have birds flying around into other rooms (previously Pebbles would wait for someone to come and get her, if Gizmo had flown to us in another room). I am happy for this as Pebbles has never been an active flyer like Gizmo, so even over the last week, it is clear her flying confidence has improved.
OK now to the downside of all this adventure, I need to clean the fans, and keep a ladder in the house
Today Pebbles realised that nearly every room has a fan. Here she has decided to check out the second bedroom by herself
NO PEBBLES!!!! It is not OK to try to eat the fan
Thinking about flying down, but not confident:
The fans are rarely used, and so they get forgotten (Pebbles came down with a dusty tail). At least it's a bit of recall training (stuck in the tree simulation), but this time she decided she wasn't ready to come down and with 10" ceilings I had to get the ladder.
I am starting a build of a play area for them, perhaps this is her way of telling me to hurry up
