He just begged them for scritches and they obliged. Roger also returned the favour.
Now this is quite the brain scratch.
So not tiels, conures or kakarikis.....
Can´t be lovies... I doubt Plets... So maybe... more Rosellas? but then I doubt they are that common.

I´m leaning towards budgies as they are friendly...

He begged them for scritches!? Whooot! And they showed no fear of him?!
Yep!

I had to video him to get these two screenshots, to show you guys the damage he's done that you haven't seen yet Screenshot_20191130-155902.png Screenshot_20191130-155920.png
All that grey/black below his neck and down onto his breast is supposed to be bright orange.
I really do hope this all stops now.

Congratulations on finding those two adorable little friends for Rodger! :heart: I’m sure he will love having them around, and I hope he stops messing with his feathers now.

Elephant in the room. Hit the nail on the head.
That's what I'm thinking. The names come from one of the clinicians and I have been thinking about renaming them. I got them well muddled myself in the intro thread.

They are still very young. They should be able to adjust to a new name :)
..... but what to name them.... :chin:

Marcy>Lucky/Happy?
Darcy>Angel?

You can see I've been thinking already. I'm open to suggestions. Can these 'name' posts be moved to the intro thread? Or we can start again over there.

Congrats in obtaining new residents! Is this a foster or an actual adoption? Poor Roger & the barbering :(

I'm fostering Marcy long term. So basically Marcy lives with me but she gets free lifetime care from the vet, which we will likely need. Darcy is a normal foster with the option to adopt later.

Marcy is now called Holly, Darcy is now called Angel. Their full names can be found in the intro thread.

I feel the need to revisit one point

Roger is still a very young bird with a mixed up identity. To start he was raised by a pair of tiels.
He is scared of similar sized or larger birds (compared to tiels), I put this down to his youth. He probably only took to Tau (Tiel) because of one familiar sound, plus Tau showed some interest in him.
If a bird presents with the top of his head he's not attacking, it's a friendly gesture, so the budgies weren't scared. If he was attacking he'd present his beak or claws, he'd certainly be able to see what he's attacking. Angel is inquisitive and is hanging on the cage bars right now watching Roger eat his chop.
Nature is wonderful, and has even more wonderful quirks. Roger is definitely a quirk, an enigma.
But that's just the way I see it.

Wow. I’ve just read this thread beginning to end.
Linden you’re one of the most caring and thoughtful birbers I’ve ever seen. Roger certainly found the right place to land.


...a bird with a fragile soul needs a special person that understands that...you're the right person for him, Linden...:yes3:
I LOVE that

I wish I could draw and then color him as is. I just love his feather colors. He must be amazing in person.
I’ll draw him for you, after Christmas.

@Mockinbirdiva have you seen the blue mutation?

Eastern Rosella. Beautiful, but a different species.
