Sun bath time...

Rico is the first Sun.. Papi is the second. Papi 'backs up' and sits in his bowl after the first dip.. and ALWAYS runs his beak around the bowl rim before he gets in... dunno why. Sorry about the back and forth dizziness, LOL!

They are so cute!! I love when they just sit in their water dish


Neko sometimes will just sit in it and look around and my bf and I just laugh and wonder if he thinks its some sort of hot tub that he can barely fit in (he of course doesn't bathe in his big bathing dish but his small water dish)

They always bathe at the same time now. Rayne was given her 'bathtub' the other day, and I kept saying 'Take a bath, Rayne'.. then I heard the boys making their 'ara grunts'...so I knew they were going to dive in! Their water had to be changed really quick before they dove in... so they obviously now know what 'bath' means... and Rayne refused to bathe for a few hours after her water was in there!

I went to the biggest bowl I could find after watching Rico stuff himself into his water bowl.. I got one for Rayne, too, since she seems to like Rico's 'hot tub'. I wish I could find one bigger... since he refuses to bathe in anything but his water bowl... I'm waiting for the request for 'jets', though!

Jag- I was wondering, how are Angel and Papi doing? Have they made anymore progress? I haven't been on in awhile.

Angel still hates me with a purple passion, LOL! However, he still likes my son and wife! He's doing well... flighted now...which has to change soon if he's going to be anywhere near me! Angel makes 'kissing' noises, says "What's that?" and "Pretty boy".. of course all of his stuff I hear second hand because he only screams when he sees me!

Papi is in love with my wife.. deeply. He'll lunge at me and open his mouth if I go near him when she's home. However, if she's not home, he's still good with me, too! He still has an ear-piercing shriek, though! He plays on the stand pretty well, and is all-in-all a pretty happy guy! He watches Rico all the time... and they 'yell' to each other. Oh, Papi makes 'kissing' noises and then laughs, too!

Thanks for asking!

I am glad to hear they are both doing so well. I remember when you didn't think either of them would make any improvements!
