Jack and Rose my 2 Green Cheek's.

Rose on her back. =]

I got my 2 green cheeks from a breeder near where i live.
They were just babies(around 3 weeks old)i had to hand feed them.
Jack flew first. i was so proud of him, Rose looked upset because she couldnt fly yet. But she started flying a couple of days after.
I had to get them a bigger cage to share because they out grew there other one. I have a Cockatiel as well named Nibbles. I introduced them to each other and Nibble's got scared(he's a big chicken, he's scared when he looks out the window and a bird flys past).
When ever Jack or Rose turned around and stuck there tails in Nibbles face, he always nips it and then runs away, its so cute.
I made them a jungle gym for them to share, they absolutely love it. Im teaching Jack and Rose to turn around. Rose Turns half way but gets stuck with her footing and neally falls off.
Rose is in the Picture i posted. She loves lying on her back, and loves her belly rubbed. She gets so excited that she nibbles on her little toes. Jack hates lying on his back but he likes the harness, but Rose doesnt - they have competely different personalities.
When i go to there cage Jack always pushes Rose out of the way to get out first. One day he Pushed her off the purch completly. When they sleep they cuddle together with there heads under each others wings.
There around 2 Months old now, there still growing there beautiful red tail feathers.
They once fell asleep laying on my Mum, it was so cute.

Rose is more of a biter then Jack is, but she doesnt bit hard she just nips at you when you do something that she doesnt want you to do. For example when your patting her head and you stop she trys to make to keep doing it.

I got home today from grocery shopping and we had a total disaster, my next door neighbours dog was out so we went to take him back, and my 2 little maltese ran outside being excited becasue we were home not knowing that there was a massive dog in our front yard. My dad called them back inside and when he went to open the front door, out of no where Jack ran out the front door -he wasent even supose to be out of his cage. My dad grabbed him before he could fly away, he doesnt have his wings clipped too. Rose and Jack have taught themselves to open the gate and let eachover out, naughty birds. the cage has a latch and everything so they cant get it open, the latch obviously doesnt work for them.

They absolutely love cooked carrots too.

Thanks for reading =]
