Peppers is like no other bird I've ever met. Some birds take time to warm up to you. Peppers took a day due to jet lag but after that she started running the place. The longer she stayed the comfortable she got chewing the door frame, flying on our heads and dropping food in our hair, This was intended to be a pleasant article but honestly this bird stepping on my phone and chewing it at the moment gets on my nerves on a regular basis. I think she sees mom and I as floating islands to land on during snack time for entertainment. If we don't give her attention, she'll bite our ears. And it's not as if she doesn't have space in and around her cage. Her cage is about 4ft tall and 4square ft. She's next to two parakeets in a cage of equal size. We don't let them out because Peppers either doesn't like other birds or gets jealous and as a result she can be violent. But the parakeets are content with the space...
My bird, a red breasted conure, Peppers, always escapes from her cage. The cage is a bit old, but still in great condition with the exception of the tap that keeps her water and food containers locked in place. We're currently using a fairly tightly wrapped string to keep it closed for the time being. However, Peppers is a smart bird that can't stand to be away from us for too long. Basically, whenever she's awake is equal to the amount of time she wants to be right next to us. Mainly right next to our ears. I wanted to capture the whole process of her trying to escape on camera. I've also noticed she doesn't like us to see her escaping. When she thinks we're watching, she pretends to eat her seeds. So instead of standing there using the video on my phone. I left it recording and left the room. Honestly, I thought she was a bit faster, but nine minutes later she was out of the cage. Still pretty fast, kn...
Rallo goes nuts every time I come over the house. He's always jumping up and it's hard to get him to calm down. Even when he's sitting after you repeatedly tell him to sit, you can tell he's still bursting with energy. He might just explode from enthusiasm one day. I plan on taking home for a walk every time I visit my brother's house to drain off some of that energy. But the walk is never enough. The harness is the only good way to take Rallo for a walk. He really does well with it. With only a collar however he pulls and pulls despite the strain in surely puts on his kneck. The harness is not perfect but you can tell he's comfortable and for whatever reason he's more under control. He still needs to be monitored but there's no call for any real concern unless she sees another dog or person. I think Rallos friendly but I'm not sure how he is with new people ...
