Dynamics

It's really funny, watching how the dynamics change between the little flocks in the Birdroom. The two Scaly Lorikeets, Jeebie and Olive, used to be best friends. Then Jazz (Rainbow) and Lani (Red Collar) came onto the scene. Olive at once shifted his focus to Lani, and I still suspect it's because they were from the same breeder and Olive remembered her. Jeebie seemed to turn to Jazz for comfort when Olive abandoned him, and so, though they all live together, there are the two sets of friends visible.

Down to three...


Breakfast!


And here's Lani, lying on her side while playing!


'Nope - I think this is loaded'

Then there's the conures. From the Green Cheek trio, little baby Triss sold quickly, and just after that Copper the pineapple Green Cheek arrived. He and Trinity took a shine to one another that day, and were content to make friends. Trouble, however, thought he had to protect his sister and chased Copper whenever he could, nipping and bullying him. I kept Copper separate from the siblings that night - then, the next day, Trouble watched Trin acting friendly with him, and just followed suit! Now, though Copper still prefers Trinity, he and Trouble get along well too, and they've been moved to the same cage.


Friends from the start - Trinity and Copper.


Now everyone is best friends!


Copper is now confident enough with Trouble, he wants to share his food!


Waving hi!


Stately lady Red watches Trouble having a bath!


The Green Cheeks are watched by Ollie the Sun Conure, who wants to make friends but is too scared of the pushy little Green Cheeks!

Two new kids this week!
