Did you know budgies can be left or right handed/clawed? Well, I did not know that until I found that Phineas is right-clawed. He can only do a ‘hand jive‘ on my right hand. If I present my left hand he gets confused. He may attempt a jiggy-jiggy but he struggles to get into a comfortable position.
Having said that, today, Phinny did have a left-handed hand jive! My right hand was occupied with both Cagney & Bezukhov. They were sitting quite comfortably & I did not want to disturb them. I offered Phineas my left hand & he was so desperate for a jiggy-jiggy (his first of the day) that he persevered.
I was very proud of his ability to adapt, faced with difficult circumstances. Well done my ol’ man!

In Mr P’s case, desperation is clearly the mother of flexibility.

Silly Phineas! He is the very spirit of adaptation. 😉
Seeing your post reminds me, I’m planning a blog project featuring guest posters talking about their birds – would you be interested? I can email you more details, if you like!
