The rope perch - it may have helped that you have fledglings. They don't know what's supposed to be scary yet, and if they aren't snatched and eaten by it, the spooky grownups would see it's ok.

Yeah, Benjamin may be a little toot. Pippin was for a while, but the others will learn how to live with him. He'll probably mellow with age. Give him a year or two - LOL!

debbie276 Thank you Debbie :D

@dcompt that is what I think, they aren't scared of anything since they dont know better..... which is the way it should be LOL cause OH ROPES SO SCARY those BRIGHT COLORS!
However I have a green pedi perch I am reusing that my tiel had - its on the bottom of the cage with another branch for them to use incase they can't fly up the height yet and Roseanne was using it then Rocksteady so ... I dont know whats the deal cause its quite bright and I was sure they would be scared!
My cat won't stop rubbing and putting her scent on the legs of the cage.. UGH I put it right next to the birds for a few weeks so she can do that.. and NOW she does it.. ugh, annoying.
HAHAHAHA 1-2 years.. thats a long long time for them to get over him being a bossy boot! LOL. Oh well.. I gues they will just live around him lol.

These guys are having a late night, they are finally roosting.. oh.. nope they aren't. Maybe the first night out of the nest is a little scary for them... poor guys. Wiish they could have a nest and NOT BREED.
