Safe Flock Time
Rosie (~9yo) and Ollie, our (arthritic) 25yo Sun Conure, enjoying some flock tv time today. We don’t have them out at the same time, but we always try to roll Ollie’s cage out for social time when Rosie is out (she knows she’s not allowed to land on his cage.) Unfortunately, we can’t do that in the reverse because Ollie is fearless, and attempts to land on Rosie’s cage if he has access to it. So Ollie’s out of cage time is 100% solo while Rosie stays in the bird room. They both express interest and affection for each other, and Rosie loves to stand on my shoulder and preen my cheeks while I’m giving Ollie head scritches through his cage, so it’s more out of an abundance of caution due to beak size differences.
