Just curious- how long did it take for your birds to "grow up"?
I noticed that it took my oldest goffins about a year to fully wean and get out of the "infant" stage (eventhough he was fully feathered), and then he went thru the "terrible twos" of screaming and chewing on EVERYTHING (which lasted until he was about 3 or 4), and then early puberty (starting at about 4 or 5- in which he began to have favorite "toys" and figured out what "feels good"), and now (age 6 and 1/2) he seems to be actively trying to court and bond (has started to feed me and my boyfriend, is protective of the younger goffins- who is in HER terrible twos, and in general has decided to be a watch-bird).
I'm curious what developmental stages other bird owners have noticed with their feathered friends :-)
