Fun time times two!

Nara and Ikkuma having sunday fun time. They signal the beginning of play time by doing very fast laps around the apt. You can see that at the beginning of the movie. I don't know if there's an exact name for it, but I call it flock flying because it reminds me of how parrots flocks take off together and each bird follows the movements of the bird before him. They start taking off from their stand or cage and dart outside, do a few laps, and then come flying back in. It seems like they're having a lot of fun with it now, especially that Ikkuma is fast and strong enough to keep up with Nara. Then, we give them some toys which they like to play with, and they spend hours goofing around on the bed with us like little puppies, chasing each other, playing hide and seek, or just chattering and rolling over.
Some things to notice: at around 0:20 seconds, you can hear Ikkuma utter his first word, which he learned from Nara ("good girl"). We've been trying to morph it into "good boy". It's not very clear yet, although he does say it a lot clearer than in the video. Another thing to notice is Ikkuma flying with the ball at around 00:57 seconds. Nara has been picking up her ball and flying around with it, which I found very entertaining and was taping her do it. Ikku saw that, picked up his ball, and fly towards the stand were we was. I completely missed it until my gf pointed it out. I'm still amazed by how fast he's picking up simply by observing the things that get Nara praise and attention. Final thing to notice is the little acrobatic trick at 3:25. Needless to say, no birds were harmed in the filming :)
You can notice how Nara is completely bonded to me, and Ikkuma is starting to become very bonded to my gf. Whenever they're out of their cage, Nara sticks to me and Ikku sticks to the gf, which is great since they're not fighting for any person's attention.
