Smurf is approx 9 months old, has bonded really well and i love *him to bits. This is my 1st ringneck and i am getting real joy out of learning all Smurfs quirks. He has all his cage doors worked out, loves cable ties, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks and quetips(earbud/cottonbud thingys)
I also have a lil blue budgie named Ozzy (seperate cage

The boys copy each other and i let them interact in free play together under very close supervision. It is just so relaxing to watch them explore their toybox and biff everything around.
Smurf isn't talking yet but he still responds to my repeated phrases and i love playing the eye blinking game. Cracks me up everytime!!!
I'd love to know what's rolling round in that feathery head. lol He is roaming round his cage as i type just looking for trouble.
He is moulting body feathers at the moment and loves a good scratch but the daft bird clucks like a poultry farm! I don't put much meaning to it for now as i know Smurf is just a baby yet and i have read that young boys can cluck but i would be a little dissapointed if he is a she in the long run.
i look forward to sharing more stories of Smurfs adventures
