Today he-or-she started using them as a swing!

I took a movie too and will upload it. I wonder if they are ready to live together now.

Today he flew into Hao-chan’s cage and explored. Hao-chan stayed his distance. When Hao-chan flew out, Mon-chan followed. They even both sat together on my finger for a while – they were that close to each other. But Hao-chan still tries to jab at Mon-chan if Mon-chan sticks his head within a certain distance. But I think they are getting used to each other. Mon-chan definitely wants to be friends.

Take a look at the video.

Then put Mon-chan back in the cage to recover. :)

You can see how small he/she is in comparison with my finger.

And isn’t that a great close-up of Hao-chan?
