I ordered a playgym for Holly so she can have somewhere to sit when she is out of her cage. I missed it being delivered yesterday so we picked it up from the Royal mail place today and put it together. Taa-daaaa! ;D Now I can hear people thinking "Where is Holly? I can't see her on it!" Well she is scared of it Like pretty much anything new I introduce her to, she won't go anywhere near it. She would rather sit... On my shoulder: On the side of our gas fire in the livingroom: Or her favourite place, on the top of my laptop I plan to take the playgym upstairs to the other budgies and take her with me too so they can encourage her to play on the gym and lean that its not scary

The only way to get her to do something is by letting her watch the other budgies. It would be so much easier if she could live with Ozzie & co but she gets all stressed after an hour or so and runs off to sit on my shoulder or starts preening herself manically. Ah well she'll get there one day She did try carrot the other week because Ozzie was eating it. ;D

Maybe just one on one time with another budgie rather than a whole group of them would be less stressful for her?

Sounds good to me, Rachael. Holly is the perfect pet budgie, even if the others stress her out too much, she knows she has you and your shoulder.

Seems like Holly would much rather perch n' poop on your computer screen than the playgym. That's much more fun.

I need to work on getting her to step up when in the cage and she bites my fingers if I annoy her Other than that she is a little sweetheart lol! ;D

I wish I could get away with biting when I am being annoyed. She is just being henny then. BB I don't know how my two would view it. Sparky isn't much of one for toys - he is more of a bird's bird. The only thing I have seen him interact with is a small mirror. Oh, he doesn't mind a swing. Smudge would try to destroy it, fail, and go find something she could! ;D
