Winston and Wendy are settling in nicely. It's been a week and I have been very slowly introducing my hand to them. Wendy is curious and confident, whereas Winston is more weary and shy. Today was the first time he jumped on my hand to sample some millet - with Wendy by his side of course. I've had to deter Wendy from chewing my hand (really hard) on a few occasions - by moving my hand sideways and downwards, I think she got the point pretty quick but feel she is going to be a chomper 😆.
I wonder when they will be curious enough to want to try to come out - they seem super content in their cage. I've made a foraging tray, as Winston was very interested in the bottom of the cage (which is wire and otherwise quite dull), but the tray has caught his attention instead. Win 🏆
They are also getting used to their new natural eucalypt perches, and in the process Wendy seems to have slipped (twice). She is fine and happily made her way back up to top perch, but I'm wondering if this needs intervention or just a matter of them getting used to things?
