Toot

Morning time with the boys. Variously sitting on my shoulder like parrots or going into a feeding frenzy like sharks when I put some mealworms out.

Curly seems to be socialising with the younger boys a lot more. Neutering them all does seem to have calmed things down in general, but Champers still always has scab marks from bites. Pretty sure it's just Caviar doing it and I'm hoping the neutering leads to long term change in this biting behaviour.

The youngest ones have largely picked up "spin" as a trick, although there's still some thinking about it the first times I try it in a session. I'm moving on to "paw" which went well for the first time today. Rewarding any interaction with my finger seemed to be leading them to think they needed to chew on it, but they came around to putting just one paw on it. It's a good start for their first go!

Curly can do both pretty easily and he's more keen these days than when he was younger and made it clear he was only doing it under sufferance 😄
