I did increase the strength of the heatbulb and that brought more liveliness to the lizard.
Also better appetite. Mostly morioworms, which he seems to take to, the greens lie mostly untouched.
I just got a box of grasshoppers and the one I released in the enclosure this time didn't have much time to hang around, like the last ones, as he lunged at it the moment he saw it being inside the cage.
As I've come to understand, he's about 6 months old.
Anyways,
>>1161751while I joke about the bird, she's still pretty much around. Still not really tame, but relatively tolerant to me being around. During the evening she cosies up to the perch right behind me when I'm watching TV.
Birds are pretty low maintenance, but can be noisy.
Often, I do use the time to answer back and forth to her calls, which I don't know if she enjoys that, but I'd like to think she does respond.
She also does like to look outside, I think.
I can put her outside as well, when it's a nice day. But then I have to worry she doesn't get grabbed by my unofficial "pet" cat, who likes to visit my yard from time to time.
