It's a beautiful structure but I think you were absolutely right to take it down in the way you did. Glad to hear he's already chilling out a bit!

I'm afraid to speak too soon but he has been approximately 85% sweeter :fairy2:

As with any parrot, subject to change without notice. :D

You did the right thing in dismantling Blu's nest, and he will be happy to start a new project. I guess I have it easier with Ralph, who actually insists that I pull his little building projects apart.

Thank you! Yes, totally could change at any time. :lol:Ralph sounds so cute!

And he has already started a new one today

Wow he is determined :)

Why plastic straws? Is it his choice first or is there a concern of ingesting other materials? I am just curious. :geek:

Unfortunately , it's the only thing that keeps his interest. I have to keep trying other materials because I know straws are not good for the environment and they will most likely be banned here soon anyway. I do recycle them but I still feel guilty

Try putting in chop sticks, 1 of my friends Quakers, builds with them, and its mu h easier to dismantle, when her Quakers make a huge nest, she just takes it apart, then they rebuild it all up again, she said it keeps them busy,

Ok, I will give them a try. Thanks Susan! How does your friend's quaker weave with them if they don't bend?

I was so surprised that he held his poop in all night and dropped the biggest one I've ever seen him do once he got out. Usually he poops all through out the night. Well done Blu!!
I think that holding his poop all night when allowed to sleep in his construction may be his way of saying he would prefer to sleep there.

You are probably very right about that because he took only like 5 days to build this

And he slept in there last night. It's not big enough yet to fit his whole body so just put his butt in there and held his poop again till he got up this morning. I wouldn't mind letting him sleep there but I need to reconfigure things a bit because I keep a laptop on at night for light and ambient noise and I'm afraid he'll wake up before me and get to the cord. I'm not sure what to do. He's becoming a little territorial over it again but he's not oit of control... yet.
