Peep is a rather wierd bird. I got him a few days ago, and he is rather sweet.
We all thought that Peep would bond with Pepper, who is the dominant bird in my cage, and usually gets along well with other birds.
My other bird, Salty, two years younger and rather anti-social is the one that Peep has bonded with. Peep and Salty will fly around my room together. They feed eachother and are attempting to court eachother (they are both a bit confused on how to do this.)
Peep is rather odd, as he likes eating Pepper and Salty's poop. Oh well. He's just a baby, so he'll grow out of it. Hopefully.

Peep needs a new name. I don't really like his name right now. Any suggestions?

Actually, Peep may be a girl. Salty, who we know is a boy is courting her, so Peep may be a girl.
(I hope. Salty and Peep would bare wierd children.)

Young babies sometimes like foraging on the ground, so maybe that's why he's trying to eat the poops? You might want to put a dish of food on the floor of the cage temporarily.
If you want Peep to become a really tame bird, you might want to keep him seperate from the other two for a little while so you can tame him better.
