After spending a few weeks settling in, calling to Gary from the next room, we thought it was time for them to meet each other.
Gary was very confident, even though she is much smaller and Angus seemed quite nervous of her. He tried to stay out of her way, flying to the settee and the play stand but she just flew after him. They met up on the back of the settee and at first there was a bit of ‘beaking’ but no major aggression and no loss of feathers. Over the next few days we gradually let them spend more and more time out of the cage and they now seem to quite like each other.
They are obviously teaching each other the odd word or too. Angus now tells me he’s a ‘good girl’ and Gary is shouting ‘Lucy’ – a dog she has never met and in a Scottish accent too.
Angus is VERY affectionate to me, he likes a cuddle, will step up and has the longest head tickles you can imagine. He has settled in so well and we are so happy he is part of our family, but no-one is happier than Gary who sneaks into his cage when no-one is looking and pinches his seed. Conversion to pellets starts next week ! !
