Just wanted to pass along some encouraging news. Ever since the loss of Betty, we have been trying to introduce a new cage mate for her widower, Bosco. The natural choice, we felt, was Sammy because of his unaggressive nature. So, we have been putting Sam in with Bosco for short, supervised periods. Bosco is naturally inquisitive but not too aggressive. Sam is shy and a little bit afraid. (Read: "Momma's boy!") :lol
Today was the first time that Sam seemed to be cool with Bosco. They shared a perch and even waggled butts! I think we are well on our way to cohabitation. Also, I think this may socialize Bosco (with us) even more. I know that George learned to accept us more by Gracie's example. I don't want to get my expectations too high but, I can't help being encouraged by all of this. 8)
