My mom will be dropping off her two pois, Nemo (Shade's brother) and Itsy (possibly Zuri's older sister...assuming the breeder only had the one pair of Meyer's) for a few weeks while my parents go away for the Holidays.
I'll try to do like last year and have a collection of daily posts about how things are going around here, with the addition of two new birds.
New challenges?
-Well Itsy and Nemo seem to have only grown to hate each other more. Keeping them separate while insuring that they both also get some quality one on one time might be tricky;
-Shade and Pixel, although seemed to have calmed down a bit (should go knock on some wood), have started being a bit more open about not entirely liking each other. Not sure what throwing "new" birds in the mix will do;
-Itsy was not fond of Shade the last few time she was here (might be her not liking Senegals as Nemo is one..). She also wasn't very fond of the Meyer's but didn't seem to care too much about Joey. However, I'm not sure how Pixel will perceive this addition of another female bird here..
-Nemo and Shade always have a rough few first days together - hopefully this time it won't last as long and they'll get over the wanting to attack the other and just start ignoring each other faster.
Here are their temporary cages away from home:
I also have another larger cage in my bedroom in case anyone should need it (if I need to separate them a bit and a bird is already occupying the bird room).

So does this mean you now have eight birds in your house?
For about a three week period - yes :)
You can go see posts in December/January of last year (Dec 2009/Jan 2010 that is) and you'll see some from last year. I went from 5 (didn't have Pixel at the time) to 7 for most of the time then it went up to 9 for a few days at the end.
Wow-- that first one is a NICE temp cage!!!
