Posted November 20, 200618 yr Well, it has been a while since I posted anything on this board. Umm. I must say Scuttle is doing really well. Found out the other day that he does actually like me (Laughing out loud). Not that I didn't already know that but I got proof is all. I wanted to try an experiment the other day. I opened the cage door and put my hand a few centimeters away from the door. After a little bit of squaking and verbal coaxing (on my part) he hopped out and jumped on my hand. When he flew back into the cage of his own accord, I thought I would try standing a little farther away from the cage. To cut a long story short, in the end I was able to stand on the other side of my room, stick out my arm and have him fly from the cage and land on it with hardly any coaxing at all. I was so proud and happy. Didn't even take that long either. The next day, I tried again, to see if he would still do it. I opened the cage and stood all the way on the other side of the room straight up, and within seconds he was perched on my arm. Yay. Just thought I'd share that
November 20, 200618 yr Awesome welcome back!! For anyone who is new this is one of Nerwen's babies from one of her clutches. SUPER CUTE!!
November 21, 200618 yr awww and here I was thinking he was being a little terror for you That's great work PP
November 21, 200618 yr Author Well yes he is still a little terror (Laughing out loud) That's every other day, hence that message I sent ya the other day about taking after his Grandma Freckle :dbb1: But I'm really pleased that he can be good when he wants to, and when he gets treats (Laughing out loud)
November 22, 200618 yr Author Woo, 'tis now Wednesday evening and I have just put the new rope perch thing into Scuttles cage. I was so pleased when I found it at the flea market. And I was even more pleased when I put it in the cage before because he pretty much hopped straight on it and now I think it has become his 2nd fave sitting spot :feedbirds:
November 22, 200618 yr I find that the rope perches are my birds favorite too I think it is because to their feet it feels soft compared to a wood perch.
November 22, 200618 yr oh my budgies would kill for the rope perch! That's why I have to put the rope perch on a lower position so they don't all crowd on this one perch!! (Laughing out loud)
November 22, 200618 yr :(Laughing out loud): I'm gald he like 'this' new gift unlike the ladder that he believe need to live on the cage floor. When he was still with me he loved his rope perch it was his sleeping one.
November 23, 200618 yr Author Thanks for all your comments. I am most pleased. And I was hoping he would remember having the rope perch when he was at your house Nerwen. I think he does, either that or he just likes it (Laughing out loud). The ladder is still in there. I put it up every now and then, though now I'm not too sure as to whether its for his amusement knocking it down, or mine at watching him get annoyed and having to knock it down (Laughing out loud). Either way its fun. I was thinking I should put in a picture of him on the perch. Took me ages to actually get one though because everytime I came at him with the camera he would jump off and leap onto the side of the cage so I couldn't take one. I had to sneak up on him in the end and managed to get 2 good ones. I couldn't open the door either as he likes to chew on the lens (Laughing out loud).
