Ever since the latest buds have integrated with the original gang, (Buddy Boy and Joe, I have put additional swings into the big cage so each bud has one to roost on of a night time. I have noticed that one particular swing is 're-arranged' for the night time roost, and it seems that Joe is the one that likes to roost on it in this position. I used to change it every day/evening, but I don't bother now, he seems to like it this way!! How he manages to unhook one side I have never managed to see. Any other buds show a real preferece for something unusual?

BertieB used to manage to unhook his swing on one side and was quite happy to sit on a wonky swing. I tightened up the hooks with pliers so he can no longer do this. I hope I haven't done him a disservice. I never considered that this might actually have been his preference. He seems to enjoy dangling upside down, preferably by one leg, and squawking as if to say "Look at me!"

Oh blue48, you have really spoilt BertieB's fun. I used pliers to close up the hooks too, but he still manages to un-hook it!!

Ohhh this is classic My lot do this with swings, the funnest thing is when they unhook one side of the double mirror swings and both sit looking all cock eyed Bailey is a devil for unhooking the mirror stands as well, he gets a better, cough, position by rearranging them

I have caved in and given BertieB a mirror. He spends an hour or so every day telling himself how handsome he is but doesn't seem to be getting fixated with it. I don't leave it in the cage all the time. I swap it round with his other toys.
He is getting a bit fixated with my feet. He waddles across the room and sits on my toes. It's a really weird feeling!

ffiscool'looks like she is clinging on for dear life, lol' They do don't they? I thought Joe looked so uncomfortable, that's why I kept putting the swing straight. It was un-hooked again this morning!

Be careful. He might just become fixated on your toeNAILS. Very much like a beak, make the same sound when "beak-bopping" and from there it can be a short ride to seeing your toe as a very goooood mate. Hmmm, what more can I say??
