Whole grains, such as oats and whole wheat pasta, are very good for them as well. Oh, and let's not forget quinoa - a lot of people give that to their birds but I can never find it at my grocery stores. Haha.

I dont feed them THAT much fruit! I dont know where this has come from! They do only get it as a treat, and even then they dont actually eat that much of it, well most of the time, they do eat alot of it when it take their fancy i suppose.
They do get more veges than anything else really. But i do try to give them as much of a varied diet as possible.
Anyway, the little-un seems to be calming down and settling a bit now, he much prefers being on me or my partner though, he's really not interested in exploring at all! Other than exploring under our tops! He's like a little hamster getting down our tops and like snuggling up to us! Bless, he's so cute. Is this a good sign, or does it means something is wrong? Or is this good behaviour i should encourage?
And for such small little birds they sure can bite hard! Much harder than my tiels! Thats definitly something that needs to be discouraged. It has only bitten us a handful of times, other than that he's really good and very tame and 'hand-able'
How long is advisable to wait before introducing all the birds together? And is it best to do it separately, like introduce Antari and say kensei first, then put kensei away and introduce him to luna? Or just let them all meet at the same time?
