I love the way they play together. That is too cute really.
I had to have to volume off because it's late and the birdies are sleeping. I must make sure to play it with the volume on tomorrow.

Male vs Female

Unfortunately the males larger than the females doesn't hold for my two the smaller is the Nila the male and the larger is Priya the female, both DNA sexed but not old enough to make sure it's 100% correct. Nila is starting his ring though.

I'd like to know too.

I have a blue Nila and a grey Priya.
Nila is right at 100 grams and Priya weighs at 135 grams
she is about 25% bigger than Nila and uses every ounce of it to
bully him too.
I think it just may be like people some are larger some are smaller.

How old is the bird? Where is the cage located, do you have it with a side to a wall so he's not so exposed on all sides to make him more nervous? Are his wings clipped so that you could open the cage and let him come out on his own? Have you identified a treat he especially loves, like sun flower s...
