Phineas & the spider plant
Posted by on 17 May 2015
Recently, I have noticed some strange behaviour from Phineas.
Phineas & the spider plant
I have become accustomed to his fly-bys. Without looking up from my laptop, I can tell his flight path by the heavy flapping of his wings & the displaced air. However, some of his flyovers seemed to fall short. When I turned to investigate what was happening, it appeared that Phineas was attempting to land on the spider plant to my left.
To date, he has not managed a landing which is just as well as I am pretty sure he would knock the plant over! It has reminded me of the past when Cagney developed a fascination with my spider plants. Bezukhov soon joined him & I recall that Raspy also wanted in on the act. After I changed my furniture, although the plants were returned in similar positions, the interest had gone.
I wonder why Phineas has suddenly noticed this particular plant now? Sometimes it is very difficult to get inside a budgie mind!

I’m going to guess that he wants herbs or grass to eat. 🙂
Sky zoomed past me in the kitchen (where the herbs are kept, on the window sill) when he wanted some last week.

You may be right! Perhaps all the new wild grass has inspired him to investigate anything green & leafy. 🙂 As for Sky… I hope you have eyes in the back of your head. 😀

I wish I had the urge for green stuff like Phineas. 😀 He’s just had some kale so the spider plant should be safe for now…

I knew I should have got the post proof-read by a budgie-expert, or in your case, a sausage-expert. 😀
