For those who have been following the thread about displays: africangreyparrot.info/thread/8389/displays
the behaviour that has been going on with Monty and Mitzi is interesting. They seem to have got into some sort of routine. Each evening now, at around the same time, as regular as clockwork, Mitzi will be eating and Monty will be on the perch displaying to her.
Mitzi is eating in a very particular way though, she puts her head deep into the bowl and rummages around for a while then suddenly pops her head right up again. It isn't the way she normally eats. I think she actually enjoys the attention and she has learnt that Monty will display to her when she is eating. It is as if she goes to eat specifically for that reason because normally in the evening she doesn't want food from the bowl, she wants Nutriberries from me and she constantly chirrups for them.
Now, she has started going to that particular perch and eating several times in the evening and each time she does so Monty displays to her.
