Finlay looks so innocent, I just can’t believe he’d be stroppy. Did he move eventually or was he settled for a nice snooze?

ariella he was definitely in for a snooze but having never seen him do anything like this before I put my hand in the cage and poked him till he stood on my hand and bit my fingers. To be fair to him that was probably justified stropping 🤣. I was just genuinely concerned he might be unwell. After telling me off he had some seed and then went to tell Barney how rude I was.

He looks so comfy but it must have given you a nasty shock! I think either Marianne Marlow or samwiseg had buds who liked to 'plank' like that. The budgie equivalent of putting your feet up I guess

Yes, both hector and JoJo used to do it 🙂 He looks so comfy but it must have given you a nasty shock! I think either Marianne Marlow or samwiseg had buds who liked to 'plank' like that. The budgie equivalent of putting your feet up I guess

That’s the ‘collapsed budgie’ pose. Smudge used to do this and Misty even took it up to lie down beside her. The first time you see it can give you a fright.

I’d have done the same thing. He obviously had a busy day and just wanted some down time. I’m so relieved he was able to get straight up though to put your mind at rest. Cheeky monkey! 😅

Finlay has been destroying the cardboard ring parts of their wall toy. Neither of the other boys touch anything but balsa. He's a determined little bird 😂

Maybe he has a feminine (hen) side

ffiscool I have my doubts on Finlay's gender 🤣. Playing the wait and see game. Meanwhile here we have the boys. Barney has been sat muttering and mumbling and Toby has been sitting very patiently listening to every word.

That’s a great looking toy. Is it one of Karen’s? My males all love shredding, so Finlay’s not alone.

blueelephant I thought it looked like a Karen toy. My buds love her toys! They’re much better made than my pitiful attempts. They can unthread mine in no time. 😂

This little guys has been with us for a year this week! I thought I'd embarrass him by sharing one of his baby pics. He won't thank me now he's all grown up and sophisticated 😂. Love you little guy. X

Aww, Barney! Happy anniversary? It’s not his hatchday so I couldn’t think what else to call it. What a gorgeous guy he is and look at what he started! From one to three in under a year.
