Kiwi-spring 1998    Kiwi's childhood. Kiwi puts his beak everywhere.

I am inquisitive!	So inquisitive....	that I must check Midori's bank account	Tired of moulting.

Tovi-March 1999    Tovi's Manu perch

This is MY manu perch on Kiwi's cage.	Nobody else can perch on this.	I even eat MY perch,	sometimes on Kiwi's cage

I like melon seeds,	but I don't like hands,	Ok, if you insist.	I prefer warm laps.

Kiwi-May 1999   Kiwi's favourite trick. He juggles the ring three times as I count 'One, twooo, threeeee'.

Take the ring like this,	turn it...	and turn it again!	I don't let it go, even while I am eating a treat.

Kiwi-May 1999  He juggles (well, sort of) all these three objects.

I can juggle different things...	But, this ring is my favourite,	not only is it light	but also I can wear it   like a necklace too.

Kiwi-May 1999    I make this toy from a kitchen towel tube. After a week, it is replaced by a new one.

This is nothing to me.	A smart bird like me,	has no problem with such a simple thing.	Finger peeling game. It isn't easy.

Tovi-May 1999   Tovi's scratch box. When I place it in his cage every afternoon, he dives in there.

I like scratching,	Nobody else can scratch in MY box.	There are lots of seeds hidden under paper.	I am hidden too.

Kiwi-May 1999   Both Kakariki are avid bathers. We didn't notice that Kiwi is almost submerged under the water until these pictures were taken.

I love to bath.	Hygiene is one of my principles.	Removing all dust and food particles.	And dipping in the water!

After having a bath

Drying on Midori's shoulder	Too wet to fly
