Hi!
I'm new to this forum and just thought I should introduce myself!
Among the other animals in the household, my little zoo contains one male CAG, Loki, and one male U2, Nemo. Loki is 4 years this Saturday and Nemo is 7 years old.
I've had Loki his whole life. He enjoys bossing everyone around, showing off, and praising himself. He is very outgoing and loves to be the centre of attention. He really likes grapes and carrots, but only if the carrots have been cut into thin strips. Another hobby of his is to drop these same carrot pieces onto the floor to feed the dogs. He's super confident and very inquisitive.
I've had Nemo for 2.5 months. He was rehomed twice before I got him, and his previous owners weren't the most knowledgable. I'm still getting to know him as he's very shy and reserved, and we're working on trust at the moment. He's coming out of his shell more and more every day, and I never thought I'd be so overjoyed to hear a bird scream lol. He would do anything for a tangerine slice or a dried banana chip. He quite likes the occasional walnut too. When he came to live with me, he didn't know what a walnut was. He spent a literal 30 minutes trying to crack it open. Every time he broke a piece off, he turned his head to examine the inside. Now he can crack it open in about 3 seconds. He really loves dogs and can bark like one.
Nemo and Loki are polar opposites in almost every way, down to the colours they prefer. Loki likes red and orange and doesn't really like blue or green, and Nemo likes blue and hates red. Loki is very welcoming of Nemo, he's always saying 'Nemo Nemo wooo wooo!!'. When we brought Nemo home, Loki very quickly learned to say 'Loki likes Nemo'. He thinks Nemo is very entertaining, and loves when he puts his crest up and acts 'dramatic'. Nemo likes Loki's talking and often says 'yeah!' in reply to Loki. I think he likes the company, and seeing Loki so relaxed maybe helps him to feel a little more comfortable. When I go downstairs, I often hear them chattering away to each other. I think their personalities compliment each other well.
That's enough rambling about my birds! How has everyone here been and what birds do people have?
