Albie was gross last night. He went under the sofa and found.... Well... I don't know what it was he found but he was happily eating away at it. Maybe a lost chip/French fry from a few nights ago? It was very dry and crunchy and just gross.

He also got super possessive over what ever it was. Each time I tried to get it off him he lunged, he head butted me, he refused to let go of what ever it was.

He is strong for a 75g bird. Like really strong, he absolutely refused to let go. I ended up having to offer a trade. Sunflower seed did not work. It had to be a banana chip.

The offending bit of I don't know what is now in the bin.

Note to self... Clean under the sofa...

Do any of your birds mysteriously find random bits of food?

Hahaha, roo funny! (And really cute) I guess I'm fortunate that mine are too big to fit under the couch, 'cuz lord knows what they might find. lol!

LOL, a 'gold' miner!

We dont encourage Salty to be on the floor, we have area rugs and there is always some bit of stuff there on the floor, not to mention wires.

LOL they will usually turn up something from off the floor.

He's not normally allowed on the floor as I'm scared of not seeing him and stepping on him and it's one of his time out spots... Although now he's finding stuff I may need to rethink his time out place. Still love the bitey but though
