You are not kidding when you say you have a few birds, wow they must keep you busy feeding, cleaning out cages and such. Do they get along together, do you have a birdroom or do they have separate cages. I only have a Cag and a sun conure plus 1 finch and they keep me busy, I can't imagine what you must deal with every day. Would love to see some pictures of them if you would share with us, we have an other birds room where you could post them, hint, hint!! :P
