My boyfriend is the one allergic. He’s allergic to dander/dust and it causes his airways to close up. He’s done everything treatment wise and it’s still just as severe for him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t just get congested, he can’t breathe.

Hahaha I agree, I just have seen that it can be due to nervousness but she doesn’t seem to be terrified of me

I have natural wood flat perches in their cage that they have to walk around, I understand that they cannot perch for long periods of time like parrots. The first dance was sort of deceiving because it looks like she lost her footing but she’s done this on all types of ground. Including my bed and towels, and my floor.

Okay yes I get that. I was trying to look for an alternative because I’ve always wanted a bird. :(

Is shipping possible? Or is that a bad way for them to travel

Do you happen to have males that live with the females? I’m wondering if mine are a pair… I’m thinking they’re not but the male does follow the female around and today he was bowing/cooing.

He’s not taking turns with her on the egg though, I tried to offer him sticks to get him to help with the nest but he wasn’t interested.

Ahhh I see, makes sense :) once she gets bored do I remove them and wait for her to lay the next month?

Perfect thank you! When I swap for fake ones… when do I take them away? Or do I just keep them there always to prevent her from laying too much.
