so the fide are doing good- butch still gets on the training perch with both feet on in (a new thing), and lenny still sings on command and i am now taking him a step further and when i train him in my room i take him on my finger and stand up and go a step to the side and bring him back. and a few times i put one of the training perches on the outside of butchs cage and i take lenny out and put him on there so they can hang out. i have a pit of them but i need to upload them as for butch... the toy i made for him and his 'eye pinning' (shown below) is being used a lot!! he takes a string of the beads and whips it around and bobs his head for a long time every day i have a video.. but i have decided to make a youtube account so i can share it because it is soooooo cute (not to mention he stops, goes on another perch, and starts flapping his wing, and goes back to playing ) so my plan is to make him a better one with bead strings all over it!!!!!! his toy (the square one with my finger on it)

i still havent figured out what kind of toys lenny likes. i gave him a toy with paper (left in pic) and he shredded like 2 of the paper things, but thats it. i think he might like rope too, i have to find some sisal rope for him

yes... i think he likes to feel the rope and beads, that and i usually mix in small millet chunks into his butch is easier to tell that he likes foraging, i put the foraging bhp in and he goes down and starts throwing things out ;D
