Re: Hello from another South African...
Hi guys.... Ellie, if you stand near his cage and talk softly to him for a while, he is o.k...the minute you attempt to get too near the cage or put a hand inside...he freaks, so we try to just be calm around him. Bearing in mind, when we "inherited" him, he didn't know real sun, fruit or ...

Re: Hello from another South African...
:D Nice one Wessel and Ariahna, however, this fairy thrives on activity and noise.....I am one of those very rare people that does not like silence of any kind, or inactivity...when I'm not doing any of that, I'm either on my laptop, or epad.....(gadget freak)......don't forget the mom taxi thing, c...
