The trip went smoothly, and now I have my birds! The male is on the perch and the female on the side.(You tell them apart by the red feather on the male’s chest, and the female’s more streamlined appearance.) The female says some words, including hi, hello, watcha do’in, come here, uh-oh, whoops, and meow, along with an assortment of beeps and whistles. Uh-oh and whoops are even on cue, such as when she drops a seed to the floor of the cage! I want to go look at them all the time, but I am forcing myself to spend only short times in their room so they can be comfortable enough to breed for me.
