love birds at home

Between my first post about them arriving at home and now, I can tell you they are feeling very much at home and are thriving.We are looking at them and having fun at their games and leisure activities. You see they are in the idyllic stage where they dont have to forage for their food. They need not look out for possible predators also. Only job in life is to be spoilt brats and peck at the food supplied, shout, scream and make all possible noises at a very high pitch.They gossip endlessly with each other, jabber jabber jabber goes on for hours an end.They take turns on the swing and hiding in the small pot that we have kept for them to lay their eggs, whenever that happens.
K spoils them no end. He enjoys watching them play, so gives them innnovative play things. He leaves some coriander or greens stems on the roof.They immediately are up on the ceiling and turn themselves upside down and nibble at it and try and drag it down.Two of them pull in two different directions and a tug of war goes on.But they dont give up, this game goes on for a while. Yesterday he tried cabbage and made them into small circular pieces and left them on the roof of their cage. They were at it with full gusto.Two of them are aggressive, the third one is happy to nibble at it when these two are taking a break from hectic activity.Live and let live philosophy.
Last few days they have started tearing the newspaper that is spread on the floor. They used to do this trick only when their morning meal was delayed but now that they have become typical brats, they have started messing up the paper by evening.
They quieten down by evening and sit demurely on the small rod.They invariably sit sticking to each other.I have watched them sometimes in the middle of the night.They are sitting right there.I guess they are having a shut eye sitting.
It definitely is like having small kiddos at home; without the nappie changing!
