Aww, poor little Herman. Hope he's not too upset when you move him again. Clever chap moved himself with no prompting! Good boy, Herman Cage cleaning finished. There was a lot to do and a lot of clean stuff got dirty again when my back was turned!

That's always a problem when you need a big clean. Something you've already cleaned gets dirtied again.

Update 1/10/23: Clear signs of primary flight feather growth, I think!

Poor little sausage, I hope those feathers grow back. Me too, I miss him flying about. He's still somewhat subdued. I have a few doing relatively heavy moults at the moment - Finrod, Prothall, Mr Hibs, Squeak maybe. It never looks like I've vacuumed recently. Maybe Eeyore is moulting, too - I can't tell, he's currently sulking in a boggy & sad corner of the Nighttime cage.

Why is there a boggy and sad corner anywhere?
Sounds like the corner needs a bright toy for the budgies to avoid.

Eeyore (the donkey) lives in a boggy & sad corner of his field. Wherever Eeyore goes, boggy & sad follows him. To be fair to my Eeyore, he is rarely sulky and subdued these days, unlike the time when he was young when he earned his name.

Oh, sorry, I did not get that reference!
We only have Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day here and I confess to finding it a bit dull and hiding it at the back of Eve's book shelf so I don't have to read it.

Herman has been a brave boy today. A short while ago he faced down Chocobo, not once but twice, in a traffic situation. Chocobo had to go another way. Emboldened by his success, Herman has just flown from the Nighttime cage to my armchair in an nearly level flight. It wasn't where he wanted to go but it was about twelve feet and he only lost half a foot in elevation. It did puff him out though! He soon flew back to the Daytime cage (I think that was his desired destination) and accepted Finrod's admiring look. Good boy, Herman!

Well done on your flight and also facing down Chocobo, Herman.
Finrod, you look spiky, young man!
