Random Budgie Story:
Its stories like these that make me think these little birds understand me more than they are putting on.
(Key: Houdini = Green with black and yellow markings
Mozart (Mo)= White with very light blue markings
Rembrant (Remi)= Light blue with white and black markings)
Last night I was setting the birds up for bed, putting their blanket over their cage and saying goodnight. I usually try to get eye contact with them when I say "goodnight" and their name so they know that I am speaking to them directly. Last night, I said goodnight to Houdini and Mo but Remi wouldn't look at me. So I said, "Remi. Remi. Rembraaaaaant." and Mo, who was perched next to Remi, bopped him on the shoulder with his beak which caused Remi to look at me. Kinda like a "hey, pay attention." motion. Haha! It was great! It made me feel happy to know that at least Mo understands why I say goodnight that way :)
The next story happened earlier today while I had them out on top of their cage. I have cuttlebones positioned in various places throughout the cage and half of them have twist-tie backs to secure them to the cage. While the birds were out, all three of them, at one point or another, tried chewing on the twist ties. Each time, I would make a disapproving "ah-ah!" sound and they waddle away, give me a guilty look then go back to chewing on a toy. Each of them did this and then never chewed on the ties again! Believe me, I know birds are smart. Birds are my specialty for pointless information. It just amuses me that they're picking up the things I'm not intentionall teaching them whilst taking longer to pick up the tricks I'm trying really hard to teach them. They absolutely fascinate me!
Just had to share that story. Back to studying for finals.
