Rajah is about 5 years old, I bred him myself and kept him as a pet.
Sari is not yet 1, I bought her handraised from a breeder in December 04 as a mate for Raj who gets lonely when Im at uni all day.
They have very different personalities, and Sari is definately the boss. They are so entertaining to watch, especially when they compete for my attention, and get very jealous if I'm holding one and not the other!
Heres some pics of them:
in this first one they are almost sitting still! This dosent happen very often because as soon as they see me with the camera they think its show off time! Raj loves trying to kiss the camera
heres them in a more usual moment... Raj has climbed on top of the door and Sari wants to bite his toes because she's jealous.. you can see the concerned look on Raj's face!
by the way, i think its important to say that these birds are outside in these pictures... which is an irresponsible place for a pet bird to be.. but let me explain!
Both have their wings clipped, and they are very familiar with the environment surrounding their cage. Every day I move them from inside to outside, and to get there, we have to walk around outside. I know this is risky, but in this case the 'outside' is only a path a few feet wide, with the house on one side and a 6-10ft fence on the other. if they were to take fright, they could not fly over the fence as that would involve turning into a helicopter and flying vertically up to clear either the fence or the house! this is not likely with clipped wings.. but I am still careful.[/img]
He doesn't get out much because we live in an apartment but he does sit in the sun alot. His favourite place is the window sill. Could that be the reason? The fact that he doesn't get much fresh air?
