My Buddy has a new Friend. Buddy screams at me mostly to give him seeds and to sit with him. It has attracted the attention of a little hummingbird who comes and visits with several times a day.

OMG!
Finarfin landed right next to Chocobo at the Herb Jungle. Chocobo lifted up her foot and shoved the lad off, right in front of me! Casual as you like, no fuss!

Oh wow! How did Finarfin react to that?

Oh wow! How did Finarfin react to that? He fell off the side of the Herb Jungle! (He was fine ) There's a bit of an ongoing dominance game between Finarfin, my smallest budgie, and Chocobo. No one has the upper hand at this time, they each "win" some of their encounters. I see nothing malicious in it, although I know for a fact that Chocobo remembers all such encounters and bears very slight grudges for a while afterwards.

In answer to the thread question - based upon the state of the lounge floor and the cage floors - I'd say the budgies are moulting. Mainly flights and tailfeathers. Four tails in the past three days. Hector gave me a truly remarkable tailfeather, a good inch longer than any other I have collected to date. I can hardly believe it came from a budgie!

Most of them singing along to classic FM. Iris trying to bite the window frames.

Barney is currently talking very intently to my usb mouse socket. I'm not sure why. Or about what. But it's very absorbing clearly. He jumped up a full three inches when my hand interrupted to try and press the delete key. He was not impressed and gave me 'the stare'.

Today he has moved on to destroying the mouse. After being told what for yesterday, I have of course stayed in my place and not interfered.

Rito just jumped over to a perch and missed and fluttered down to the cage floor. Aster and Dexter are eating their supper.

They're all sleeping. Chocobo in her bookcase hidey-hole. Loric in the Daytime cage. The other fifteen budgies in the Nighttime cage. I can hardly believe I wasn't woken in the night.

Mine are very busy today, mostly busy avoiding the new toys they have for Christmas inside and on top of the play cage. Hopefully, by Christmas day they will be better acquainted with them.
