Great choices! After purchasing mine I don't water until I see signs of wrinkling. How did yours come? If they did not come rooter, then you might need to water a little more frequently. But more frequently for them is like every two weeks! Yes, I'd wait for them to wrinkle a bit before...
Looking great! You got some amazing lithops! The grey, and the two brown-ish ones at the top I have but that green amd especially that orangey-pink I'm SO jealous of! Their pot looks amazing too! Good luck! Unless one of those has a different seasonal clock, it's growing season, so you can water...
Imprinting has definitely been overlooked as a factor for human aggression, but I don't think it's the only one. That's just me speculating, however. So far, all of the broody raised males I've had (not many, and some didn't stay for long) were not human aggressive
I have a much more hands on...
To be honest with you, I don't know the species. Didn't look into it much. But I can tell you how I care for it. It's under full sun (had to acclimate it to it), doesn't get many waterings (less than my echeveria), and is on loose succulent soil. Not exactly lithops level soil, but I'm convinced...
Agreed. I know some people get REALLY heated about clipping. I'll never do it to my birds, but if one has reasons for doing it, that aren't rooted in outdated information, then it's ok
I've seen lots of cockatiels being free flown...just saying :p
Seriously though, free flight is a big thing, and very hard to do right. So yeah, definitely not something to encourage on a whim
Yup. He was neither (English nor chubby), but still wasn't able to maneuver really well. I'm assuming that all the flying he had over here would strengthen those wing muscles, but not really. Maybe it's from not fledging properly? As far as I know, he'd never been clipped
