Ok, I think I am long due for some pics and videos. Sorry guys, I have been more active on the Tailfeathers forum because there seems to be more activity there on more threads (no offense!). So without further ado, here are some pics and things!
Zorro and her favorite toy, lol!


Dweezel and his strawberry

great pics and vid! Do they just love eachother or what?!

and I don't wanna preach, but are you worried about them getting away being outside ? They look absolutely beautiful playing and bathing and being their birdie selves! It's just that you hear so many stories of even clipped birds getting away. I'd hate to see your babies get lost...

I have no fear of them getting away. I don't know how to explain it. Dweezel has flown off before, when we lived somewhere else and his wings were not clipped. After that he has been only outside with his harness, until he got his wings clipped. Zorro is scared to fly but I know she could technically catch a wind.

I really can't describe how I trust them, but I do. I have never had a problem, in fact I have more problems with them when they are inside out of the cages rather then outside. Outside they have one stand and the table they get to play on and they stay there all the time.

Dweezel likes to stalk the front door so he can run out when you open it and he hops right up on a chair and up to the stand. I never leave them out there on their own either.

Oh wow. They're gorgeous! What cuties! It's wonderful that they get along. They really seem to like being outside.
Thanks for sharing!

Thats good to hear! and I understand what you mean... you 3 have an unspoken bond
I'm glad they like the outdoors so much...and they are 2 very happy and LUCKY birdies!!

I just love looking and pictures and videos of others interacting with their birds...you definitely have two wonderful companions and it looks like they are both enjoying the life you are helping to provide. Congrats on being such a great parront and please keep the posts coming!!!!

Great pics and vids - really enjoyed them!!!!!!!!! Although with your grown up companions are beautiful Im gonna miss my Ciscos baby face when it goes.

Freddy

Thanks for all the wonderful comments everybody!

Freddy- don't worry, just take lots of pictures and you will always be able to look back at his cute little baby face! You are lucky, well, actually everyone here who got their fid as a baby is lucky! I never got to see either of my Caiques as babies! I got Dweezel when he was 1 year old and Zorro is 5 or so. So cherish them while you can! And post some pics for me to see those little baby faces! Hopefully by next spring I will be posting pics of Dweezel and Zorro babies!

ooooh you're gonna breed them??!!! Yay!!! I hope it all works out! Looking forward to those pics! lol

Yeah, Zorro has a nest box that she sleeps in usually and they both go in and out of it (though they are VERY rarely in it at the same time). They are starting to bond more, they preen each other more and sometimes they follow each other around. They are also sharing a cage now.
