Hmmm...? Can someone help?

Post by BirdLover » Wed Jul 16, 2008 1:05 pm

So, yesterday I got another society. (My Spice and Zebra died since the last time I was on here)

I haven't heard any singing yet... How long does it usually take for a male bird to start singing or anything in his new home?

They have beed cuddling on the perch together.
I put some veggies and apples in there and she seems pretty interested.I haven't seen her touch the millet, food or water yet.

I don't know. I don't feel right calling her/him an 'it' so I just call him/her one or the other.

How long does that usually take? Or does it just depend on the bird?
I don't know why but... Societies are my favorite.

The most obvious sign is when they have the bath towels monogramed either "His and His" or His and Hers".
