I've been watching SPX each morning to see how much he eats so I can clean his cage tray then hide his seed dish and let the little Pirate Terrorist out of his cage to join SPX in the big cage. I think SPX has figured out I'm watching him eat so lately he quickly runs down to his seed dish takes ONE seed only and just as quickly jumps up past 2 sets of perches to the top part of the cage and nibbles on the seed SLOWLY.
He does this for an hour or more one seed at a time taking FOREVER. He's on to me, I bet he figures if he eats slowly then the Pirate Terrorist can't go in his cage. CLEVER BOY!
They are definitely smarter than we are!
