What we are working on now

The girls seem to enjoy my company especially to try out new things. We now have 4 1x96 boings; the gym made of tortured pvc; and wandering forked grapevine that is about 1 1/2 inches in dia. Some of these perches are attached to the cage and to the beams in one way or another. Miracle is not too interested in venturing out but Blessing is up for any new perch...but really only for eating the almonds I have tied to the perch wrapped in paper.

I have found that I can sometimes point out a path for them to take and then they are able to take it. What is interesting is that sometimes they are willing to take guidance and other times not...but is it because they don't understand or that they are exerting their autonomy.

I have my chair arranged across from their cage with a boing passing directly overhead. Blessing has on two occasions come just far enough so that she can see my face and what I am doing and then hangs out there for a while. The other day she got stuck on some chain and I offered her the pvc gym to climb onto and she did and then I ferried her to the cage.

The cage has not had a door on it for about a month. Usually when at rest, Blessing is inside and MIracle outside. This morning Miracle was nipping at Blessing for some reason and forcing her to take a different route out of the cage. Wonder what that was about.
