Ok, this is going to be a long one that has several questions, so sit back grab a cup of tea and your reading glasses :lol
Finny and Evie were finally introduced about a week ago. They immediately hit it off! I mean I thought this was going to be a hard thing! In fact after the first meeting, it was dang near impossible to keep them separated. Both of them would fly off to the others room, while I ran after them like a crazy woman! So I thought hmmmm lets try them in the same cage (don't cringe yet) they actually liked it! So since the second day they have been sharing a cage. **note: All this occurred after the 30 quarantine.
So now of course I am no longer the center of Finny's universe. :cry: Although occasionally he does come over and hop all over me and bite my ears (gently) like he did before the "other" woman came along. :rofl:
There are some positive things... Evie loves baths and as we all know Finny likes to be a dirty birdie. So Evie actually has Finny trying to bathe.
Ok, here are some questions...
1. They do squabble a little bit, is this normal? It does not appear they are hurting each other and of course no blood is drawn.
2. The whole regurgitate and kiss me thing... Does this mean I love you or dang woman you are to skinny have some food?
3. Finny has shown some signs of wanting to mate (ok not little signs more like billboards). Evie has basically blown him off on that part of things. What is the normal mating ritual and what should I look for as far as the actual act?
4. If by some chance she actually lets him do it (I am doubtful at this point), how long does it take from "liftoff" to actual laying of an egg?
That is it for the questions about the pair of them... I have a few about Evie herself.
1. She has definitely not warmed up to me as quickly as Finny did. I am still unable to pick her up and she will not come to my finger. She will however sit on my head or shoulder mostly when Finny is there but sometimes by herself. When ever I come to take them out of the cage (several times a day) Finny will always jump on my finger and come out while she is a drama queen squawking around the cage like a monster has come after her (we have nick named her drama queen). Any suggestions on how to get her to trust us more? We have tried so many thing and she still basically runs away from us.
2. She is really loud and makes a lot of noise (I am ok with it) but it is now making Finny really loud too. Does this have more to do with the fact they are together now and it is just a phase? She was not really loud by herself when she lived in the other room except when she could hear Finny in his room.
Anyway, I think this is all for now :rofl: I do have some new pics I will be posting soon.
