Kiku Loves His Ball

Kiku can be pacified easily by giving him his little orange wiffle ball. He loves this ball! He holds it expertly with his little feet and tries to put the ball on his shoulders. This activity makes it look as if he is giving himself a massage. It has been interesting to watch how Ben relates to Kiku. Ben, my elderly little Blue Crowned Conure, is next to Kiku and seems intrigued by him. Ben was a solitary bird for all of his life prior to coming here. Now that must have been a mind-blowing experience coming into this house full of parrots! I think it's interesting that he seems to have buddied up to Chauncey, of all birds! He does get calmer when he is next to him.
