A few weeks after bringing Mojo home i knew i wanted more conures my wife thought i was mad 
I had kept in touch with the breeder i got Mojo from whatsapping him updates and pictures. After a while i gave him a call to ask when his tourqoise pineapples would next be available and arranged to get one from the next clutch of eggs at the beggining of 2022 however i had also noticed he had a yellow side on his website
So i sent a e mail one night and asked if it was still available would he keep it for me.
He gave me a call later in the week to tell me he would.
So plans where put in place so i could bring her home.
Mojo got a new bigger cage and her old cage was moved into my office upstairs and 16 weeks after getting Mojo i travelled to Stoke to pick up KiKi.
First thing i encountered is she is a total escape artist if the door is slightly open she is out.
So today i covered everything in the room so i could get the paper from the floor from her cage i had put food and water down there in case she didnt find her bowls.
She was out like a shot
I added a couple of perches on the outside of her cage as i thought there where limited places for her to land.
And then sat on the floor to allow her to have some zoom time and explore a bit i thought the floor was the best option as im 6ft1 and thought this would be less imposing.
Thankfully after a couple of hours she landed on her cage just below the door and headed back inside.
This was more accident than design but was very pleased as i didnt want to have to handle her to get her into the cage ( i had to yesterday wasnt happy about it but was the only option )
I have decided no paper on the floor of the cage this means i can clean it without opening the door all interaction will be through the bars of the cage until i gain her trust i am going to go as slow as needed i believe it was a month before Mojo was first out of her cage.From Daves feedback and what i have seen so far KiKi is a much more nervy bird she is eating and drinking so i will spend several times during the day in the room with her over the next week and then the following week i am back in work so will be 10 hours a day with her for 4 days.
She has been very quiet so i dont know if Mojo is aware she is here she hasnt responded to any of Mojos calls.
Mojo is as usual being a rascal climbing all over me when i clean her cage and well being Mojo.
I bought that little block for her as it was full of paper sticks and she loves to destroy them but she really likes to use it as a perch.
Now shes enjoying a Old El Passo Nutriberri in the conservatory whilst i listen to the radio and have a couple of beers.
And just because i can one more of the new member of the Ward clan ( or should that be flock )

and so much personality! I love that little tray that Mojo is containing the nutriberry mess in, that's awfully considerate
whilst typing this post she jumped onto her water bowl getting as close as she could so offered a piece of millet through the bars.
