True! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Perhaps it had a 'duck' moment - went a little quackers.

Henry Floyd (g x 4 grandad) Allegedly the heaviest man in England in 1842

I'm not sure, but one of our budgies has just used up two!

We usually leave the cage door open so that they (we have two) can fly around the room if they so desire.

A couple of days ago OH went into her bedroom which has an ensuite, screamed and then started laughing. One of the Budgies had managed, somehow, to fly straight into the toilet where it was doing its best to stay afloat.

The bird was dried off and although a bit waterlogged managed to get back into the cage.

Then a couple of days later, after I put the budgies outside, we were having a bit of a natter in the family room when OH suddenly stopped talking and rushed to the door. She had seen the budgie on the outside looking in.

When I put the cage out I had forgotten to close the door! This particular budgie had then flown down the side of the house and settled on the window sill. Ironically this is precisely the spot where the cage is normally kept when it is in the room.

She could have flown anywhere, but she came to the right spot.

I've heard of homing pigeons, but homing budgies??

Strange times!
