OMG!!!!
First bit of nesting material has been brought in!!! Can't contain my excitement.
I thought my two birds had fallen out of love last night, as what I believe to be the female attempted to roost in this box for the first time....but Maurice arrived a few seconds later and got the shock of his life.....so he was having none of that....there was no real aggression towards her, but he kicked her out with lots of loud chirping and wing flapping he sent her on her way.
She tried to come back in a second time but again, he chased her off. No fighting though....hope that doesn't happen!!! I'd hate that.
Edited to add the video of females failed roosting attempt!
