Very good and informative. Keeping parrots together is great. For example, Floki and Knute, are caged together. They actually hit is off right away. When caged, they play, cuddle & sleep together, preen and have little spats. They have 2 dishes but interestingly they both eat out of one dish then move on to the other without spats or fights. When they are out, Knute is on and off of me. He’s more interested in flying. Floki will sometimes fly but she’s more interested in staying on me. Floki surfs and preens me. If I put her down on a perch she comes right back. She’s a boomerang bird. One of my black headed hens, Siggi comes to me. She’s another surfer! She now says, “Watcha doin” and kiss, complete with kiss sounds. I’m working on putting her with Ivar. Siggi is attentive to Ivar and he to her. Ivar has become sweeter with me. I credit that to seeing me interact with the other birds. There are many different personalities in my flock. Some birds are pretty independent, coming to me for interaction but only when in the mood. Others tend to be more needy. And lastly, diet is soooo important.😊
Interesting, Jan! I only give 2 dishes for fresh foods when it's more birds, like our Green-cheek Conure aviary. Otherwise, I never thought to give 2. I love that they eat together and then move onto the other dish together. That is awesome!
