That's Shinda Shinda is more cuddly than Mojo. Mojo does come and sit on my hand or arm and will give birdie kisses but she's a busy bird all the time!

I don't know if it's because Shinda was brought in for hand-rearing as soon as he hatched and Mojo was in the nest box for a couple of weeks so Shinda had human contact immediately??

Lesley saw the dad attack Shinda (there are infra-red cameras in the aviaries) as soon as he hatched so ran out to bring him in. Mojo's damaged toes were only discovered when Lesley went out to ring her at two weeks old at which point she brought her in too just in case the dad did any further damage (remember he actually killed one of the chicks).

They are both absolutely delightful birds but have completely different characters.
