Something strange?????

Ok, here goes. We got two ringnecks as you may have read on the other board. They came untamed and within a week I was shocked at the progress I made with MAX, however, Ruby was also following suit and taking food from our hands.

Thanks! Some more stuff happened this evening. Max, the male, seemed to relax enough to take food out of my lips, then he was doing it without and I'd give him a seed afterwards.....but Ruby, the female hasnt been so forthcoming, until this evening...my partner got her to take food out of her hand, ...
