I got Piper first, and Snowy about ten days later.
Snowy was very quiet at first, and Piper spent most of his time preening him.
Very gradually I have seen Snowy come into his own. Two or three weeks ago they started squabbling over resources. Piper generally won. Now, Snowy seems to win most of the conflicts.
For a while they were both sleeping in the swing. A few nights ago I noticed Snowy sleeping in the swing and Piper clinging to the side of the cage nearby. When this happened the second night, I got Piper on my finger and put him on a perch after I covered the cage. The next day I put in a second swing. Snowy seems to get to pick which swing he wants.
When they squabble over toys or a food dish now, Snowy seems to prevail. While Snowy is taking the food or the toy he wants, Piper walks up and down on the perch, bobbing up and down, chirping and talking.
I am doing my best to eliminate sources of conflict. I am very interested in the gradual change in the dynamic of their relationship.
They spend less time cuddled up together than they did when I first got them.
Piper is definitely more tame than Snowy. Both will get on my finger, but Snowy is much quicker to hop back off.
