Ipyana-

Ipyana has never liked bananas...He has been warming up to them lately... I just keep persisting. Then... I got out a banana and he lunged towards it before it was even peeled and said "MMMMM!" When I got it peeled, he took a huge chunk out of it like he has been waiting all day for this treat. I have always had the bananas sitting out on the counter, but recently, I have had them in the refridgerator. They get soooo cold, almost frozen. He really loves it this way! He definately looks forward to it. Since he hasnt been breaking anymore blood feathers, I have decided to SLOWLY introduce more perches and toys. When he was having the blood feather problem I had to really restrict the toys and perches in his cage, and play with them outside the cage instead. So I put in a cuttlebone perch and he loves it. It isnt his favorite but he will sometimes perch on it for a change of pace. But if there has been one thing that I have learned about Ipyana, is to go in slow motion concerning introducing toys, perches, etc. June has no problem with this what so ever. If I put a new toy in or something, he just stays away from it.. and then curiousity gets the best of him. Ipyana has his curious side to him also.... sometimes more so than June. Even though Ipyana is very tame and laid back.... he loves to get into things he isnt suppose to. Cords really get his attention, like the cord to my earpiece on my phone. I take the precations of making sure there isnt any around him. If he eyes one and you trie to remove it, he tries to bite. Ipyana hasnt learned his full potential in biting yet.   He nibbles. Which I dont understand why he does this.... June realized he could bite hard before now. Ipyana is a more scared bird though, so that may make all the difference.

June-

June has his good days and his bad ones, like anyone else... Today was a good one. He was playful and full of energy. When he whistles, it is sooo low toned, like hes afraid that someone will scorn him. He almost whispers his whistles.... but maybe I am just sooo used to Ipyana belting out a tune and overriding any other noises in the background. Then again, when June whistles, he does get scorned... by Ipyana. After June starts whistling, Ipyana will start screaming  until June stops, and gives up. I encourage him to keep whistling, and he is comming around to the idea of not being over shouted.
