Sun is shining!!
Gosh I love days like this. We've been waiting a while for the sun to come out. Though I'd get Jibby out to catch some rays and something to do for a couple of hours. I think hes been so bored while Lola is sitting on her eggs full time now... but the little bugga hated being outside.. all he did was beg me to take him back inside. He needs some sun, so I sat and read a book while he winged and whinned at me. He even tried unlocking the door.
Hes also started moulting.. early?

Indoor birds moult sometimes in very different times of the year to outside birds.
This is due to environmental factors, where by they go through a moult when its warmer, less important to have very healthy plumage to keep warm etc... and impecible feathers for the colder months.
Indoor pets dont have to face this problem, so their body clocks change, your birds will find their spot in the year to moult, and you may notice at most, a prolonged, less dramatic moult due to that.
The sun would be doing him alot of good..

Pinkdevil: I dont know whats with him, since Lola has been sitting full time in the box.. he wont leave me alone!! Hes so clingy!! I thought he'd want to be by her side every minute.. but nooo.. he feeds her once in the morning and once before bed.. the rest of the day.. its velcro suction to my shoulder, its getting quite annoying!
Fah: Thanx for the info.. the last 2 years his moults have been mostly face and head feathers for some reason.. to the point where for a while hes got bare cheeks! Maybe this years another hard moult?
Aldeleen: Lol. Hes going to get some sun whether he likes it or not!! Hes such a stubborn bird. Yesterday, he kept throwing his brocolli at me because he didnt want to eat it.. I kept throwing it back at him and it then turned into a game. He eventually ate it after our game of 'catch the brocolli'.
Robin: Thankyou, greens are the original and the best. and just to correct you.. green is not a mutation, original flavour! haha.
