Rendering two objects with OpenGL and vertex array objects

Question

I am trying to use OpenGL with shaders to render two triangles on my screen; a big red one, and a smaller blue one. Each triangle is defined by a set of vertex positions and col

glEnableVertexAttribArray must be called for each vao:

// Fill the buffer data
glBindVertexArray(object1_vertex_array);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, object1_vertex_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(object1_vertices), &object1_vertices[0], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, object1_colour_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(object1_colours), &object1_colours[0], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(1, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, object1_index_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 3 * sizeof(int), &object1_indices[0], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);

glBindVertexArray(object2_vertex_array);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, object2_vertex_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(object2_vertices), &object2_vertices[0], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, object2_colour_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(object2_colours), &object2_colours[0], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(1, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, object2_index_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 3 * sizeof(int), &object2_indices[0], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
