Mine tend to sing and chirp whether we're here or not. However, if there is something they deem interesting going on in the room, then they are quiet. I assume they are taking it all in, (Laughing out loud)!

Thanks for the bamboo tip. Sunny is going to town with it! Sammy is older and does not take to new things very well but he may eventually come around. I would never have thought to give it to them on my own. I thought only pandas ate it

I have never heard of peppermint trees before, (Laughing out loud)! I don't know if anything like that grows here. However, I have a bamboo grove so I have tons of bamboo available. The kind you buy at the store and grow in water/dirt as a houseplant isn't really a bamboo. It is called "lucky bamboo" but its not.

Ha ha! Thanks That did help a lot. I guess I'm not used to taking close up shots of small critters That will help with my flying squirrel shots too. Here is sunny again, this time clearer. PS Her flight feathers are clipped but I didn't do it They did it before we brought her home. She seems a little spooky because she knows she can't fly and to me, its sad. :hap:

I don't see a patch on the back of Sunny's head although it is just a touch lighter. Its more obvious in the picture than in person. Sammy has a patch though, its white.

I've been looking through websites on mutations trying to figure out what color/mutations sunny (the female with the yellow face) has. She is a powdery blue (more grey/lavender than the picture shows) with a yellow face and you can see the yellow under some of the blue on her body as well. The markings are dark on her wings but light on her head and body. I'm posting up a picture and trying to find a better one of her coloring and one of her back. Thank you! PS. My camera is being a pain and keeps taking fuzzy photos. This is the best I can get at the moment. Hopefully I'll figure out why its having fits.
