I took a video but I just moved and just got a new computer so I have to find the disk to install the camera program on this computer.

Also, they have no names. I think they’re both male and I’m looking for names for both of them. My two are Budgie (female) and Chirpy (male).

How about “Pat” and “Chris”.

I learned some time ago to give gender-neutral names to baby birds, because in so many parrot species you just can’t know for sure for a long, long while.

Gender-neutral names might be good. I’m sure one is male but now I’m thinking the other may be female. One is yellow with black spots and the other is traditional green.

Maybe Banana for the yellow/black one?
