Bluey used to do this while I was trying to read - sit on the top of the books and look down at the words. . Good times have been had playing Uno.

You need to encourage him to nibble the corners blueelephant , so that you can work out your opponents hands. Or maybe just distract them with his cuteness. I see a budgie-assisted winning streak ahead

My choice of card for this little fella would be..... King of ❤ He has certainly got my heart at the moment. He is very entertaining. He likes to preen my face (useful service obviously) but he absolutely will not contemplate me giving him a head scritch in return. He has also taken to coming with us in the morning to fetch his new seed and water from the kitchen. This involves flying down to say hello to the budgie in the stainless steel Kenwood mixer bowl (very cute) and then pouncing on the refilled seed pot straight away. This morning he came over to the kitchen tap while we filling the water pot up and had a shower under the tap. Much excitement 🤣 (from us and Barney). Then once the shower was done he almost seemed cross about how wet he was so repeatedly flew around the kitchen in laps pausing on people's heads for breath. It was like he felt the need to air dry!

I see a budgie-assisted winning streak ahead willowsmum He is very keen on chewing the corners of the cards. This actually an Uno Flip set (excellent slightly different version of Uno is anyone needs a present for a child!). It has many a Barney chew mark. Our normal Uno set has chewed corners from our previous budgie Silver. It's the one year anniversary since Silver died this week 😞. I wish him and Barney could have met and been friends. I still miss him loads. I'm not sure what they would have made of each other though. Despite their shared love of interrupting card games!

Oh, sorry you have such a sad anniversary this week blueelephant It's so hard to lose our little friends. Hopefully Barney will keep you smiling with his antics, his kitchen survey sounds like the perfect distraction

I'm sorry about your loss. Silver sounds like an amazing bird. Barney's antics are awesome! That's life goals right there.

Willow has a thing for Scrabble tiles. Not fussy about which letter, they are all good for a beak bop. Makes the words on the board a bit muddled when he joins in Any other gamers out there?

Thinking about it, Munchy never liked the kitchen. willowsmum I'd often like to have one around when playing D&D or other tabletop games. Munchy used to chew my revision notes when he was little. I miss those days. I think this lot would just avoid us.

willowsmum I can just imagine the carnage a budgie could do to a Scrabble game 🤣. I blame the length of the tail. Land in the middle of a board, turn around quickly and wham you have successfully swept away all the pieces! I'm not sure if you have heard of Catan but Barney likes to do very similar to that. Lots of small wooden pieces... @sillycat84 Barney has enjoyed very much chewing my daughter's school work since January. He is unstoppable when he wants to do something. We have had to stop him coming out when she is working because he just causes chaos. I can just see Munchy chewing up revision notes. How did Munchy get his name by the way? It's a great name for a budgie.

Catan is good fun! I love watching a bird wreck a game! blueelephant Well I felt like I had to name him before my ex came up with something ridiculous that stuck, and all I noticed was that he seemed to be eating frequently. So technically Munchkin is his nickname despite being longer. He's been hanging out with me for the past hour wanting scritches and chewing on my clothes and such. It's been really nice. Yuki did manage to join us briefly without Munchy getting chased away and started preening my hair, but then was super Indie-obsessed so Munchy and I got time together in peace. Got the best of both worlds at times at the moment, but definitely enjoying the interaction more. I love reading and seeing all your photos of Barney's antics.
