This evening we decided that we would try Rosie out with Frodo and Bilbo, we decided to do this because they land on each other’s cages and kiss through the bars.
Stevie and I are not novices in introducing birds so we felt confident that if things did not work out we would be able to separate them without the use of towels, water etc.
Both Frodo and Bilbo were already out of their cages, so I opened Rosie’s cage and let her out, she flew to the play stand and stood playing for a while; both Frodo and Bilbo kept an eye on her, but did not approach her.
Frodo and Bilbo then flew to Stevie and Rosie watched them, she then just flew to Stevie and landed on the back of the sofa, again, both Frodo and Bilbo watched her but did nothing, Rosie then jumped down on to Stevie’s shoulder, which ended up with Stevie having Rosie on one shoulder, Frodo on the other and Bilbo on his head, so I grabbed my camera and by the time I took the picture, Bilbo was stood behind Stevie on the sofa, but I took the picture anyway.
They were out together for 30 minutes with no incidents; it was great to see them out all together and behaving nicely to each other. We’ll now be letting them out together for short intervals and build up their confidence with each other.
We are very happy how this introduction has gone so far and we hope it continues.
