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.

Give it a chance it 'aint gonna start singing till it feels at home ...if it's a male.
What's all the 'Her' business ...you don't know 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".
