The perch that was replaced by the wooden one was an artifical perch of what looked like molded sawdust. It fell apart, and not from usage. I’m sure it just dried out to where it lost its integrity. So I bought a wooden one, and Stiggy likes it.
I’ve had finches and canaries, but the parakeet is the largest bird I’ve owned. I may be adventurous in the future and find something else, but not right now.
Peaches, being a lovebird, is “Constant noise and activity from when she wakes up to the time she goes to sleep.”
In the wild, lovebirds make “I’m here, nothing ate me.” calls upon waking up.
The rest of the flock makes similar calls, and then they go out to eat fruit, seeds, bugs, and planted crops sometimes.
She very often sets off the outdoor birds.
She has a local bluejay who comes over to talk to her.
She makes him shriek and howl, makes her fluff up her feathers in triumph.
