Bonnie has a habit of throwing a lot of seed out, I wonder why? Tyler doesn't is it a hen thing? We may have said this somewhere before Yes, it's usually a hen thing. It might be because they want to use the seed trough as a nest and they have to get it "just right" Or just cos they're naughty

Thank you! I'm happy that she seems well too. I still make sure that she drinks by offering her a medicine cup of water once a day. Today, Billybob wanted some water too, it was the first time he'd shown me that kind of trust! I'm wondering if budgies can suffer from memory loss as they get older and forget to drink? Sounds silly but just a thought. I'm sure there is a little bit of senility creeping in with old Jo . I'm not happy until ive seen him have a drink every day because like you I rarely see him drink, he does some strange things too, repetitive things. For example he will take one seed and climb to the top perch and rattle it around in his mouth for ages before he eats it then down he goes for the next one and so it goes on until he has had a feed. He is super tidy too, if a poo happens to end up on a perch or his platform it has to go, he waits till it dries a bit then pops over and takes it off. Either that or he suffers from OCD Same thing for Wiggy - I know he is not at a grand old age as JoJo (bless him) but he does seem to have some sort of early stage of dementia however, he is the happiest budgie ever and still gets everything the other boys get food, exercise and quality time and he sings more now than he has ever done! I would know if he was in distress

He is searching for groats only (that are no longer there) and 2. He tries to play JCB diggers and tip the grit pot up! Mummy has placed the grit pot ledge underneath a perch now so he cant do that anymore Battle of wills sometimes

I used to have those hagen vision pots and I put them on top of the cages. I ended up having to blu-tack them down because Roswell would not just tip them, he'd chuck them over the edge! I have used glass ashtrays for quite a while now and they're too heavy t tip

JoJo update: JoJo is still in good health. Today she has been laying down on her platform whilst singing. It was quite cute to watch.

She is still keeping her eagle eyes on you, though, M. I wouldn't have thought she would have been able to sing, lying flat on her chest!

Hopefully she'll stay well. She's always got her eye on me! We don't cover JoJo and Billybob at night because they don't like it, they went flapping everywhere and fell off perches when we did. So at night, she watches me until I go off to bed. Yes Hezz, it's amazing that she can sing while laying down, but so can Hector! Makes you wonder how they sing and make those little noises
