are so funny! Buddy and Joe, bought them from the same place, but not at the same time, weeks apart in fact. They are totally different to my other buds, and have bonded very well. They both INSIST on crooked swings to sleep on. If the swings are not unhooked they somehow make sure they get unhooked. Last night there was only one, so they had to share.

LOL! There must be a perfectly good reason, what we think is comfortable must be completely wrong in a budgie's world!

I wonder if the budgie that unhooked it is the one that wanted to be higher than his brother

My greenie liked to unhook his swing too, until I closed the hooks up a bit. Now he sleeps on his rope perch. Funny how you always know where they sleep by the little pile of poop in the morning

That is very cute. What lovely sharing. None of my budgies I have had have ever got the whole swing thing. They absolutely will not entertain sitting on one. Somehow I suspect if Barney was part of a flock and someone else wanted to sleep on the swing that might change...

That is too funny! Buddy likes to sleep on the swing but Tweetie Pie has never slept on one. He occasionally goes onto the swing to play with the stuff attached to it.

I've only had one bud not do the swing thing. Smudge would give off the evil eye if I tried to put her on a swing. She would go anywhere else, do anything else to not go onto a swing.

Why would you want to upset the Smudgster in the first place Hezz? She knows if and when she wants to go on a swing, and even if she didn't and another went on it - then no doubt she would shoo them off it too!

Interesting about swings. Charlie was great with his (mirror) swing in the old days, and Tony has at times used one then started ignoring it. How are your green boys different from your other buds, Shirls ?

And solely for the purpose of proving me a liar. Here is Barney sitting on his swing this afternoon. Literally the first time I've seen him do this.

Cookie tries both the swings in the cage before sleeping, every night. That includes the action to shoo breezie away from any of the swing she likes to test. Breezie ends up running from one swing to another! Once she adjusts on any one, breezie sleeps on the second one! Poor chap!

Bless those boys There is definitely something a tiny bit different about the personalities of the normal green budgies, they are very dynamic and full of mischief

I think it was just because she was a lazy and fat little madam, Sam. Might have been hard to balance that weight. Shooing another off a swing would have meant getting too close to one - it didn't happen.
