This is the story of Manzi and Maui, my Congo African Grey parrots. Eventually, Manzi is going to become a famous flighted parrot, so check out his blog. I tell about day to day activities, continual trick training and about the quest to become a free flighted parrot. Maui is the newest addition and I also tell about their acclimation to each other and techniques to improve their relationship.
The cage arrived last Saturday and a friend came over today to help set it up. It is pretty huge. I haven't got it all decorated, but I do have lots of huge branches to put inside. I am also going to make a plexiglass wind-break.
I'm leaving for a week, but when I get back, I'll get to work on that.

This cage is beautiful Adele.
You aren't afraid of Manzi killing her in there?
Manzi is way more in danger of getting killed than Maui. She is a lot less tolerant and more confident than Manzi. He will go around and harass her, but when they get face to face, Manzi nearly always backs down whereas Maui is often up to the challenge. I put them in the cage for a few hours last night and this morning and they do just fine together. I'm glad that I finally began to force the issue with the perches several months ago. Now they are just fine together. They might not sit very close, or preen, but they enjoy whistling together.
