They don't try to kill each other anymore :). They actually almost get along (well, to a point). I'll make them into buddies yet!!! :D

Yep. These guys both have rhythm. But the reason Sals pounds his foot is the equivalent to someone pounding a gavel at a meeting... as in tap tap tap, "order in the court!" But instead Salsa says, "Right Now!" :D

And as far as getting along, yes, they've made a vast improvement!
 
That's cool :) beautiful birds!
 
I just love your birds! I must admit that I have a soft spot for Salsa, such a beautiful big guy! I love that he taps his foot, he also has a great voice, I think that he is starting to pick up on your voice a little bit! I know that macaws don't really imitate like a grey but kind of picks up your voice a bit!
 
That's awesome and they are beautiful
 
As always, love your vids. I'm really looking forward to Rea and Miri to start vocalizing more but they're both still so young. (I also dread what they might say first as well:54:) Biggest difference between my Macs and yours is they'd never allow me to stand that close without flying to me, especially Rea. Biggest reason I use the webcam, they don't try to eat it and they're already on me.
 
I'm gonna try to turn slasa saying "you're loud" into a ringtone... lol.. I can't get a very good sample, so it would be a hissy, but I'm gonna try...cause every time I hear him say that, I die...its hilarious.

I hear ya, Rat. I always find it interesting how although many of us have similar birds, their social environments and each of their personalities can be fairly different. I love 'em all though! :)

hahaha! That's a first :D. Good luck with it :)
 
An example, Deb came home from work and let the GW's out while I was in the office doing my online/conf. call training. Break time hit and I came out and there was Rea and Miri both hanging off the side of the cage ready to pounce (fly). I have to hold my hand out to keep them from coming after me. (I don't like it but 15 mins. goes by fast). I've really had no choice but to let them stay up late so I can spend time with them after I'm done. I didn't the first couple of nights and to say they were "upset" with me would be an understatement!! :54::rolleyes:

Poor girls :(. Birds don't understand schedule changes very well... they just wanna be with their dad!
 
Wow, that was interesting to watch! Salsa pounding his foot and nodding his head in rhythm, and then getting down from the door - he's fun! Zaf running over quickly when he realizes Salsa is on his door... I could watch these two for a long time! Do you have more videos on youtube?
 
Loving the Zaf and Salsa video!!!!! Salsa kills me with the tap tap tap, right now....lol

Thanks :). Yes, I've been posting videos of my guys (mostly of Salsa, but several of Zaf) here pretty much since I became a PF member in June of 2012. All of my videos are unlisted but if you subscribe to my channel on YouTube you should be able to see them.
 
I have a channel on youtube as well... "nasotang" What's your youtube channel name? Would enjoy seeing some of your videos :)
 
THIS is what I LOVE LOVE LOVE waking up to. :D Insta-smile...with a cherry on top.

I burst out laughing pretty hard when Zaffer RAN across the cage to get to Salsa. Oh they are both so very sweet...and SO much fun to watch. :)

I am SO happy to hear they are getting along now. :)

And Salsa is quite the Fred Astaire. ;) ...and SO demanding RIGHT NOW, lol.

Thanks for sharing them, Tony. :)
