Precious

Today I noticed Sophia and Athie on Soph's cage. Sophia was in it (although the door was open) and Athie on top. Athie's FAVORITE pellets are yellow banana ones. She always eats them first. I saw Sophia reach into her food dish and pull out a yellow banana pellet. Then she climbed up to Athie, and Athie gently took it from her beak through the bars, and then ate it. Sophia climbed back down to her food dish, got another yellow banana pellet, and went back up and gave it to Athena through the bars.

She repeated this six times! All yellow-bananas (Athie's favorite). Then she got two--a banana and a green pellet (Sophie's favorite). She brought the banana to Athie and, after giving it to Athie, ate the green one.

How amazing. Sophia somehow figured out what Athie's favorite flavor was... and they were so precious as I watched them together.
