They are gorgeous!!!!! I love them!!!!!

Trust me, that's fine.

Until they were quite big, then I only started putting them out small parts of the day, until they got used to that.
Now, they live out full time, and are very...
I was going to meantion that females are more grey than males, whereas males are brighter and more colourful.
Another thing is.......um..........if they mate with their perch..........it's a male.............
