...that's the safe play...and the right one!

When Elvis and Buddy were interacting here...preening each other's head...they were on opposite cage sides...and always under CLOSE supervision...;)
And Buddy is quite a bit bigger than Scooter. I think I would feel more comfortable with a bird Buddy's size. Scooter is pretty petite (although he's bigger than Sunny was which doesn't seem possible. LOL. Now that I have Elvis, tiels look so tiny.)

I know what you're saying. :)

Buddy goes at 135 g...even with all she eats...and she eats all day. When she gets near the tiels, you notice the size difference...Sunshine is about 110 g and Igor is 91g...Tweety goes 105g or so...

The rescue took Scooter for a vet check, and he came in at 90 grams. However, the woman who took him said she wasn't sure how accurate that was because there was something weird going on with the scale. I haven't weighed him myself yet (I need to!) but I would be surprised if he really weighs less. He looks smaller than that to me but maybe my perception is completely skewed.

He's just a small guy...like Igor is. The funny thing is the girl tiels we've had...Goalie and Ziggy were BIG GIRLS...130 to 135g! At one time, Ziggy outweighed Igor, her mate, by an astounding 40g...:jawdrop1:
