Nightrider Ive been conned by a Corella and a Galah , least your little con merchant isn't noisy lol . Oh and keep him restrained while you boil the egg , believe me if they aren't meant to go near it that's the first place they go .... ever tried to get chili con carne of a Quarrion ? Yes it was cooling down so no damage done.

ha ha ha.., chilli con carn, now i bet that dear birdie learnt a warming lesson.., sorry i shouldnt laugh.
but he is still back and forth to the bowl of crushed up nutri-grain i fixed for him, but in his inquisitiveness of adventures around my house
he has decided to start bopping around on my floor, and picking at bits of the carpet..., NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR THE LITTLE GLIDER.
as he has just met my other little buddy, my central beardie.., and i think little dude(the lizard) thinks he looks tasty....so i have had to rescue him for the second time.
he has no problems if he sticks to anywhere above waist height, just not on the floor with a lizard that would like his drumsticks for dinner...ha haha.
but all is well, as i have put the beardie in another room for now, and i'll let the little birdie firgure out that he has wings, and floor is no place for birdie with wings.
then again.., the little bugger has barley stopped flying around and chirping.., maybe he's a little worn out, and needs a bit of floor time...who knows?

i dont know if i have found a new friend, or he has found a new friend?, but even as im am sitting here typing this, he is scooting around the house and taking a pitstops on my head, and my shoulder as cruises on by..., i must say.., for a little chirpa that i saved from spider web yesterday, to today he has surly become accustomed to human touch real quick.., rather odd i find. but i wont complain.., as long as he is happy.
and that avatar i am using is him sitting on my finger..., ya stick ya finger under his chest, and he has no problems in jumping on, quiet the character i must say.
