Strolling the yard
Hi everyone! So, I have some news to share as well as a question or two on behaviour. First; I wanted to let you know that Babalooey Blue is really settling in now! He is happily chirping away as I write this and has been more playful by the day! The paper toys finally arrived and he ADORES those! He will even play with me if I offer a paper shred and in this way, has begun to nibble, preen - and pluck(!!) the fine hairs on my fingers. I almost cried! So sweet. I open the cage door every morning and feed fresh chop. Today he almost (almost) ate some! He tasted a few pieces anyways! After morning chop is served, he will sometimes come out and explore. I’ll turn on the YouTube Budgies making noises video and he will sit and watch and kiss the screen. My question is - is this harmful at all? Like, my tv screen is pretty big and I worry about wrecking his vision? He’s not addicted or frustrated at all - he flies away after a few minutes. But I just wanted to ask about it because I have a little perch set up for him in front of it because when he tries to land on the tv he can’t find purchase and he really fell hard the other day! Thus, a perch. So please, what do you think? Is this TV watching harmful? Or harmless?
ps. I had my very first experience with Babalooey Blue coming towards me after he skimmed the ground and landed in an unfamiliar area, I very slowly approached, hand down by him - and he ran over to step up!!! I’m so happy!!
