I've come to the conclusion my budgie is just plain bonkers. He is obsessed with feet. Mainly socked feet. If I don't spend a significant period of time sat on the sofa so he can talk and sing and dance to my feet I feel like I'm being really cruel. If I get up and try to leave the room he runs after me like a dog walking to heel, just so he can stay with my feet. He has always been keen to be with his human buddies but suddenly this last fortnight its all about the feet and nothing else. Like I say. Absolutely mad. Anyone else have a foot obsessed bird? Is this just a passing phase or could I well be spending the next x years trying hard not to step on my pet!?

 I think Marianne had a bird who liked feet too. Your little bird sounds like a sweetheart.

It is actually not that uncommon. My first budgie was obsessed with my big toe ... madly in love with it  and Marianne Marlow's Dumpling was a socked-foot fetishist. |

This happens to me a lot with Kiwi. I will be attempting to clean my house and he will follow me. Quite difficult to clean when you are being chased by a budgie

 Having a little nap with his bestie. He is an absolute sweetheart, but like you say cleaning the house with the budgie out is now impossible. He also actively refuses to step up and go home as this separates him from the beloved feet so before any cleaning we have five minutes of chase the budgie! |

I had to put Dumpling in his cage before vacuuming, it was just too dangerous for him to be hanging about my feet.

It looks like you have quite the characters in your flock blueelephant. Who's the acrobat hanging off the cage in the picture? |

It looks like you have quite the characters in your flock blueelephant . Who's the acrobat hanging off the cage in the picture? The foot lover is called Silver and the guy in the background is my daughter's soft toy budgie! He is pretty realistic though and Silver likes a deep and meaningful chat with his stuffed buddy 😂. I do wonder if his foot loving would subside if he had a real friend. |

Sam LOVES feet! When we are watching TV and have our feet up she will do a whole beak tapping rountine with our big toe. She then jumps down and runs around in circles, eyes pinned. Does the same with my thumb. Sam is a bloody randy pants.
