"Decorating"

[LilSprout]

Kamara had a sprig (dunno what the word is for it, a stick?) of millet that she finished after I had been using it for several days as a treat for bonding and getting her used to taking things from my hand and she seems to like grabbing it and like, sticking it between the bars of the cage. She'll put it somewhere, take it down, chew on it a little and then put it somewhere else. Is she just stashing a fun toy or is this nesting behaviour? She hasn't done anything else to indicate nesting behaviour and if she's just having fun with it I won't take it away

She's come so far........from not knowing how to play to now being very inventive and creative with the millet twig. You've done an amazing job with Kamara. It does sort of sound like some kind of nesting behavior, because that behavior includes stuffing and weaving almost anything they can get their beaks on.
