i thought id let you guys know how things are going now that generals
in the loungeroom with the other 2
general & riku have realy hit it off & spend most of the day following eachother round the room
there have been some jealousy issue but nothing major general very quickly learnt that kierons bedtime swing is for kierons use only
from watching the other 2 general has also learnt the use of the strange things i call toys & is now playing avidly with the ones outside his cage tho still not keen on them in his cage
kieron is madly doing his courting dance to anything...and i mean anything riku, general, the cockies outside..........& his latest a bell that sits on top of the big cage (im wondering if hes been reading laurens post about jibby over my shoulder) they all like to sit on the top ove the mirror and supervise the computor usage (i will post pics of that as son as i get on) the biggest change in any of the birds tho is kieron he actually seems to miss me now!
every time i walk back in the room he looks at me and chitters no yells or screams just hello or what you doing or no actual words but he is always looking at me when he does it!!
its like hes saying hey i noticed you were gone & im glad your back hes stilll not up to letting me touch him but he will almost stand nose to beak with me
& if i have popcorn while sitting on my chair watchin tv he will fly down & land on the back of the chair
but when i look at him he will fly off 
general still wont let me near him but has lost the fear look in his eyes , what im doing with him is walking slowly with my hands behind my back & just getting to the point where i know hes ok with me talking to him for a while then walking of and playing thumbs with riku or feeding kieron an apple slice
my theory with this is im getting as close to him as he will come to me then when he is comfortable and just curious at what im doing coz im not trying to grab at him or touch him so whats the go here the others are getting something that they love thereby increasing his curiousity
without scaring him or making him think im going to grab him
oh i thought i better explain the "thumbs " i play with riku
when i say its time for thumbs i put my thumb up (like giving the thumbs up to someone & riku "investigates it" some times she smooches on it some times she looks like shes punching it with her beak other times she cleans her beak with it
as long as she doesnt bite it she gets lots of treats during the5-10 minutes before she gets bored & flysoff but if she bites i say "no biting & then wait till she stops & does something different then i say goood girl gets a treat and give her one
the other 2 watch rikus gametimes very closley and are getting more confident in the fact that i never hold her or force her to stay when she wants to leave & sometime i catch them moving closer to get a better look at whats happening!!
