I am working on getting a larger cage for them, on a fixed budget so it'll be a while but hopefully not too long away. I fully intend to shorten the wooden dowels at some point too. They're very flighty when I start moving stuff around the cage for clean up time and that makes for a tiny challenge. I used to clean cages in a pet store, back when we could have all sorts of birds for sale. So I'm kinda used to the whole clean up routine. The little sweeties poop FAR more than I thought plausible by such small birdies.
As I know their genders it's still impossible for me to pick names that fit. I was thinking of just calling them Java and Rice. I love their little pip cherp. Today they decided their water dish is a lovely place to take a bath. Fortunately they have covers so the spray was contained within the cage. They were taking turns, hopping in, splashing themselves up and getting out to preen. They take turns with everything they do, one goes for food the other follows and does the same. Same goes for all activities they do. Birdy see, Birdy do.
Eyeballing cages and basically window shopping has been fun. I kinda wanna hire someone to make the perfect cage for my birds, or maybe I'll get into a little DIY. I don't really like most of the cages I've seen available. Either too small, bars too far spaced apart or FAR too expensive.
Their favourite game is merry-go-round with the tent in the middle, they hop-hop through, flutter to far end, go back around to the far side and do it ALL over again. They chirp happily while doing it too. Tried to film but they stop instantly when I tried. Camera shy.
