It’s absolutely amazing to see and hear Barney now . It has just made me shed a tear because I can remember seeing him at my friends, he looked lonely and depressed…..but not now, he looks like a different bud…a happy, contented little boy ….He must be so very happy. Thank you so much blue elephant and Marianne

I'm glad he's happier ladybird. We can't have budgies being depressed! He's happily singing to himself while Chipper tries to get his attention

Daisy isn't happy with him as he's chased her a few times and she's too lardy big boned to keep up, so she's ended up on the floor.

How's bedtime going? Has he found a suitable place to sleep without annoying everyone?
On his own he seemed very consistent and undisturbed at night. Sleeping in one of two spots and not moving an inch even if we came in the room and disturbed him.

So far we've been putting him back in his own cage at night because he wants to sleep in the vision which already has 5 in it for bedtime.
It's not been traumatic for him as we have just switched off the main light and Paul has picked him up and put him in his cage.
I am not sure how to usher him into the cage with 3 budgies in it as he doesn't want to go in and he has not even explored Penny's old cage.

He's settled in his cage at night though, as like you have said he's just staying in one spot all night, mostly on the rope by the mirror, but once on the cuttlebone.

Tomorrow I am going to put some millet in Penny's old cage to encourage budgies to explore it.
I really would like Barney to sleep there with a friend. Dinku could be a contender.

Sounds good. It's great he is getting on so well.
He used to like the round flat perch as well for sleeping. Those pink dangly bells were right by that and he used to squeeze in a little gap between the cage wall and the bells.

Barney this morning when I opened his cage. I put millet in Penny's cage. Iris, Billy, Chipper and Max went and had some. But Barney would not go over. He likes to spend a lot of time in with George and Peter. I put a couple of small bits of millet in with George and Peter and of course Barney ate some of that instead. Any ideas on how to encourage them over to the other cage?!

He went into Penny's old cage for some millet with Max. Yay! Time for some acrobatics I took the time to lock George and Peter in together with some millet. Barney was chasing Peter away from George and it was upsetting Peter as he cannot get away. They seem happier with a little time to themselves

Barney has a zest for life, I'd say
