Hanging out with my new buddy. Breakfast today was a banana(he is so cute with a whole one, but it is wasteful, I think I will start chopping it for him). Lunch is fresh arugula, fresh baby kale, fresh red pepper, frozen thawed chopped broccoli, frozen thawed brussels sprouts, frozen thawed mango, pineapple, cherry, strawberry, a few pieces of birdy pancakes(with millet, budgie seed, and arugula in the batter, sprinkled with cayenne powder, ginger powder, probiotic, and a smiiiidge of peanut butter. Now we are just sitting quietly together: he on top of his cage looking around saying "hello" softly to himself every so often, me in a chair near him in the room. We really gotta fast track the larger cage, it is breaking my heart watching him in this one.
"He" is also squatting down, wing flapping, and grabbing the bars with his beak. I'll look this behavior up in a minute, but my frontrunner gueses would be:
this is the hanging from beak wing flapping neurotic behavior performed outside of the cage
"He" is a hen. This is similar behavior to that my female amazon, Crayon(RIP), had when she was feeling in a romantic way. Guess only time and a blood test will say.
