How do you encourage laps around the room? Put them on your finger, hold 'em high, and tip them off!! First two are fine, but on third attempt Lovie would draw blood from my finger, fat fella

First two are fine, but on third attempt Lovie would draw blood from my finger, fat fella I was talking budgies, BB, not lovebirds ........ ......... you must learn to be quicker with the off-load, methinks. Catch him unawares! And get him used to certain launching words. With Smudge I used to use "off you go", and tip on "go", but she got to anticipate and would be gone before I got to tip her off.

Since you mentioned kissing Hezz it reminded me to tell you what we now say in my house. We haven't managed a kiss except through the bars. We can't wait to get them out and tame enough for the 'Hezz hug' and the 'cornet cuddle'. I've forgotten who said they got their budgie like a cornet. My mum aka budgie nanny threatens them daily saying, "ooo I want to cornet you"

Hector will give me a "kiss"... if a kiss is a mad aggressive biff on the nose with his beak?

Shouldn't that be the "Get-Fit Club" I was launching Smudge often enough that she took off as soon as I turned and looked at her! I had to tame it down a notch as she wouldn't sit still on my finger for a kiss. Poor Smudge Hezz, you've got her terrorised!

Brodie lets me kiss him on his head or on his beak all the time & often on his wings & he regularly, when sitting on my finger will reach up & kiss me too, it's adorable! Reading these responses makes me chuckle, aren't our budgies just so funny? I meant to say yesterday too that B has done some highly impressive flying manoeuvres - including doing a tight u-turn & flying straight into his cage & up to the corner when launched, (I think he was trying to tell me something ). He's since discovered that doesn't allow him to get out of flying duty, it just prolongs it!

She would say "it's not my fault everyone wants to feed me" and look as though butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. I put her in with Spyro for a little company for him soon after his plaster came off and he immediately started stretching and bobbing his head, so I whipped her out of there straight away, the poor boy needed all the goodness himself, not hoik it up and give it to little Mumma.

He is beyond all this. We sometime hold him with a cloth
