Looks like a comfy bowl!View attachment 408430
We're currently trying out Buzz's old cage for one of the girls. Bug likes the bigger bowls.
I don't think it is firmly understood why some birds practice anting. One hypothesis is that it may help with parasite removal, and the birds are allowing the ants to climb under their feathers for help rid them of pest.So...please kindly, when you have a moment, explain anting in cockatoos. I've seen birds "anting" on a literal ant hill so that they are sort of bathing in acid from the ants. I've never seen a bird 'ant' in the way you are showing your sweet bowlgita doing it.
I have seen videos of 'Toos playing like that! Wrestling birds...who knew?! It always seems to me that Caiques also never get anything accomplished because they spend most of their time play wrestling with one another, lol!Goffin commonly play on their backs The native corellas in my area even wrestle!
Maybe both?Which makes me wonder if it is Bug celebrating her craftsmanship! Or possibly de-craftsmanship since she is ripping them into tiny bits
Double trouble! For sure!!We have so many cute pictures of our sweet goffins girls but aren't sure where to share them, so I decided to make their own thread.
It didn't seem right to post pics of Luv Bug on the Puffin's Progress thread, so now @Xulta and I can post here. There will probably be a few repeats from other threads but now our favorites & new pics can all be in one place.
For starters, here are a few of my favorite shots of the girls together. All so sweet you'd never suspect any tail pulling unless you know them.

For anyone not familiar with the girls, Luv Bug is the fully feathered one and Puffin is the partially nekky floof!
