While fighting Loki off from dipping into my fresh cup of coffee, he snuck around behind my hand and stole part of my cracker with vegemite!!!  From the piece I was putting in my mouth!  He does like vegemite, but isn't as neat at licking/nibbling it as the budgie s .... only one now  He gets it all over his beak and then wipes it off on my shoulder.  |

Has Loki integrated in with the buds, or perhaps the other way round, yet Hezz? |

OP, he wipes it onto my shoulder .... onto my skin. jellybean, I am his bib ... so he thinks. Marianne Marlow, anything I eat, Loki wants to eat as well, even the ice in my drink. As soon as I crunch on a piece, he is trying to grab it out of my mouth. No, Shirls; no interaction there. Spyro has been the most bold in the budgies and I have to admit to being very protective of the little birds. I do think they are very capable of keeping themselves out of reach, but I am vigilant just in case someone does get too complacent. Loki shows interest, but I cannot yet determine just what kind of interest ... |

He seems to like all the same things that the budgies like, just goes about it all in a different manner. Funny to watch him exploring the boys' little cage this morning; he looked like a giant. He was going off to sleep on me yesterday, I was reading, and he lifted up one leg, clenched his foot so that all the claws were through between the opposite ones and then leant his foot against the side of his head, looking all the world as though he was resting his cheek in his "hand" if he was a person. So cute. He and Spyro are playing chase me around on the budgie gym, Spyro chortling all the while and Loki making gentle muck, muck noises. Oh, my God! Spyro is trying to feed him!! I had to stop here and supervise, even though they are only arm's length away; Loki could take his whole face off!!  So funny - Spyro went all pin-point eyed, head feathers standing on end and trying to put his foot on Loki's back.  They have settled down a bit now .... phew! |

Cor!, it sounds like Spyro needs educating before it gets out of hand, or worse. But how on earth do you go about that.

I'm glad that you intervened when Spyro tried to feed Loki!
Spyro has a little too much confidence for his own good!!

Sometimes you do have to just let them be, and get on with it. The funny thing was Loki was trying to make himself look smaller - that's what it looked like anyway - and he tries to take things out of my mouth all the time, so .... if it's offered ..... |

How sweet of spyro to want to fed Loki if a tad dangerous! 😳
That's lovely Loki went to sleep on you. That shows complete trust doesn't it. Are there more photos for me to find on here?
