Murph has always been one to have these little...habits. One of his favourite things to do when he was younger was to keep lifting and dropping the grit pot. Oh what fun! Because all the grit would end up going on the floor to a fabulous tune which he couldn't get enough of. I managed however, to position the pot so the ledge was slightly under a perch to stop him from lifting it up and wasting the grit. But as he is more of a senior gentleman now I thought he had stopped these sorts of things. Apparently not. This is his latest hobby: Trying to watch an episode of Carnival Row the other day on the laptop was IMPOSSIBLE?! Little monkey

Ahh, these lovely little habits! It's usually with hens, well it is with mine anyway. She has taken to chewing the little white catches that holds the seed pots in place on the Piano 6 cage! She has really distorted them. They are now covered in pegs so she can chew those. Experience the same with the grit pot samwiseg. Usually, again it is Pip, my hen. They seem to love the sound it makes of grit falling on the floor! Lovely, beautiful Murph, bless him.

Three days in a row Lucy has untied the knot and dropped the same mirror. I am sure she's just trying to test my patience.

Sam keeps dragging my glasses to the edge of the table and dropping them on the floor. Then stands there looking down at them with that one eye. She's laughing her beak off, I just know she is. I really must get one of those chain things to put around my neck so I will have them with me. Friggin' bird...

The highest and most further away - back of the top of the cage, hide behind the gym when I need them to go home for safety reasons. I don't need to put them away often, except at night and they do that for themselves, so seem to think they should have free rein all the time.

Pip is still on a mission to destroy the catches on the seed pots. I just have to say now, in a loud voice 'what are you doing?' and she moves away (for a few seconds!!) but the pegs over the catches are doing a pretty good job preserving the catches, at the moment!

I have now to tie toys over the catches also with pegs, so now she lands back on top of the curtain rail and is chewing the curtains! What can you do???

Sam hasn't started chewing destructively yet but she is still young. The little hen I had years ago chewed EVERYTHING! Blinds, shoe racks, wallpaper, curtains, you name it. She even destroyed my PVC mini blinds and they were hard plastic. Little bits of hunter green PVC blind on the floor every day until they were gone!
