Hi All

My wife and I just got two of these... we got it from a lady who has a couple and had babies and we got it the same week they started to eat by themselves...

It has been only 1 week and although initially they were really scared and aggressive they are now more tame, now we are able to hold them on the fingers and give them some food.

One thing that concerns me is that they don't seem to sing (or chirp) at any time.. when they are separated but in the same room (like when we get one out of the cage) the do call each other but that is pretty much... Is this normal?? ( I don't know I was expecting them to be noisier...) much about birds but

Thanks
