I have changed it. In fact, i completely removed the iodine bell as i noticed the metal bit was going rusty. After i got rid of that he started using his calcium bell and now he uses his mineral/cuttlebone.

I think this is is a behaviour he had started, reather than a problem since he was happy to use anthing chewable and so quickly. It might be done to boredom and in that case Osward should help with that later.

I don't think it is boredom. He's so hyper that he's either preening or playing all the time, he ALWAYS does this after he's eaten some seed or some veggies, do you think that at first it was boredom or something and now it's just routine??

I think it is a habit, when Pretty finishes eating he wipes his beak on his rope perch.

yeah That's the sort of ting I was mean/thinking it's now just a routine to him, but like humans it can get out of hand and become compusive. (sp?)

The Blinks complusive :budgiedance:: :ausb:

Well at least it's compulsive about his appearance and skin health and not something odd.....like keeping his cage tidy. :bluebudgie:

:(Laughing out loud): won't that be funny I got a visual. Blinks with an apron on, with a duster, and a vacuum cleaning the cage :(Laughing out loud):

You know, that's similar to what i was imagining when i posted that! :(Laughing out loud):
