Budgies

My sister asked me for pictures of the budgies, so here's the two of them sat on the cage:

Oliver, the male on the left, is standing on one leg, which usually means he feels happy and secure enough to do so, and, clearly, Snowflake, the female, is also happy. Plus she's not beating him up. Once I was watching Oliver in the cage. He wasn't doing anything in particular, just being content and at one with the Universe. Snowflake went up to him and knocked him off the perch. No reason as I could see. Maybe he was too happy, she was feeling a bit frustrated and wanted to take it out on him?

Budgie Freak-out

When I was making coffee in the kitchen this morning, there was a lot of fluttering in the living room. Everything was curtained, so I expected the budgies to be all quiet, but there was a big commotion in the cage.

Snowflake (the female on the left) was on a swing, but Oliver was clinging onto the bars near the bottom, eyes white. Who freaked out who I don't know, but Oliver was the most freaked out of the two. He freaked out again while I opened the curtains and uncovered them, but seemed okay when I put them in the kitchen.

With me being all weird on Wednesday and the budgies freaking out today, maybe the flat's haunted!!
