Teal and Blue are going strong. It's almost 2 months since Sky passed. I think Blue and Teal have realised and accepted that it's the two of them now, Blue was with Sky the longest, she wasn't playing much or leaving the cage much, and the last few weeks she's been quite active and seems to be enjoying Teals company and playing with him.
Teal is very friendly and tame with me, he steps onto my hand and flies to me when I ask him, he also goes to the front of the cage when they're back in it for the rest of the day, when I enter the room, he wants kisses, of course I can't resist the cuteness so I go over to the cage and he gets them.
Blue has never bothered much with me handling her, though watching me with Teal seems to be changing that as she's started to step onto my hand and fly to me, she's even coming for kisses.
I guess the routine I try to keep to, and giving them equal attention, and including her even when Teal is full on wanting my attention, she's wanting to join in, and Teal is showing Blue that being handled is fun and nice. To the point that a few times now I've had one on each hand, and have sat with them for about a half hour, just talking to them, I tell them their story, how they ended up with me in their forever home, they seem to enjoy their story.
