Update on my flock and lots of new pics!

Peppers and Hans are doing great! They are getting along fabulously, the amazon party continues just about every night around here, lol. I think that I am going to start clicker training with them soon. I need to get Hans stick trained so that Matt can move him around if he needs to.







Hans was trying to eat the ceiling the other day. . . .



"No, not me!"



Matt and Peppers are doing really good. It took Pepps a few days after Hans came home to get back to allowing Matt to handle him. They are doing soo much better now though. I even got home from work the other day to find them chilling out on the couch together!





Sydney and Sky are doing good. It's major hormones around here though so keeping them entertained (so they have something to do besides try and mate with me) is a full time job. I came up with this last night.



Sky loves it!





Heehee, Sky butt!!



I still can't get close to Sydney with the camera because she will attack it. This is the best I can do.



Boomer has been doing great too. He's got all his flight feathers back in so we have been working on his flying. He can fly, and land, but he for some reason flies with his butt and feet down like he is landing the whole time so he tires out quick. I'm not really sure what I can do to help him with that one either.

Sounds like you're having a blast! It sounds like you attached pictures, but I can't see them. :(

Hmm, maybe these will work.











Of course those aren't in order anymore but hopefully you can see them at least.

Sky loves the basket. . . I threaded it with raffia, some leather strips, and plenty of shreddables and he was having a blast!

LOL @ Boomer's flying... Charlie flies like that too! It makes him really slow and it's funny to watch. Now Charlie has a minor clip because he is absolutely horrid when he's flighted (I swear he's the sweetest bird I have, unless you're near his territorah! He can still fly halfway across the room but doesn't steer as well, so attacking my face is not as easy), so I don't know if he'll ever get over it... but here's hoping Boomer does! (Or at least gets more stamina so he can fly strangely all he likes!)
