Wish I could read his mind, I know how frustrating this must be for you!

Dorian is very refined in his taste. He prefers spiced gouda lol.

Huey is a sweetie. Dorian has come a long way since I got him but I don't think I'll ever get him to lay on his back.

Haha so after their first week together (brought him home Sunday a week ago) they have just had there first play, preening, feeding session in my hens cage sorry about sound, watching blacklist haha! 45B5DDBB-BFE9-4D20-BBA1-C481253B9D4F.mp4

Still struggling to work this one out. Alfie comes out of his cage of his own accord as soon as I open it. He doesn't wait for me to leave, he'll climb right out. He then flies to his shelves and plays and ignores me for a while. If I'm round the corner at my computer he will sometimes fly to his cage and check up on me. Or he may climb onto his tree and start preening. He's still not letting me give him scritches (but my housemate is allowed). Yesterday he came and sat on the coffee table next to the armchair I was sitting in but I just talked to him and watched him. Normally he would come and ask for scritches and sit on my knee but he didn't. I didn't force the issue either. Today he pushed a box off his shelf and flew to his cage so I wandered over to the shelf to put the box back for him. He flew to me and landed on my upper arm, then lunged at the back of my head twice. I put my hand/arm over my head to stop him from getting it again and to either usher him down my arm or to get him to step up and he grabbed the finger instead. Then he flew back to his shelf. I wish he could just tell me what I'm doing wrong! 😂 I'm still suspecting either the haircut or him being protective over his shelves. I'm leaning towards haircut because he doesn't let me scritch him through the bars of his cage anymore like he used to. I'm really not sure how to tackle this one and resolve it. I'm doing my best not to get upset about it but I do worry that I've done something to break the trust or upset the relationship. I just wish I could understand it and know what to do to prevent it from happening.

Yay! Glad all is going well with them both!
