Tales from Quarantine – Shiny Things (4 of 8)
18 February 2021
Posted by on Moriarty is a fan of shiny things. This was apparent quite early on. He was often playing with the bell at the bottom of his chewy toy & the bells on the bottom of his swing.
His mirror gets a lot of attention which is probably expected for a bird that was on his own.
I suspected he would appreciate the disco ball, which he does!
I love my disco ball!
I love these shiny bells!
I love this bell!
Cor, what a handsome chappy!
Hard headrest
4 June 2020
Posted by on Recently, Lennie has been using the lantern mirror as a headrest. It does not look terribly comfortable to me but he seems content with it.
When he’s not in a snoozing mood, he likes to play with the beads attached to the mirror:
It is a well-liked mirror & both Lennie & Perry enjoy a chat with it too.
Perry’s Pleasurable Places
31 August 2017
Posted by on Following on from my post on Lennie’s pleasurable places, I will attempt to balance things out by reporting on Perry’s pleasurable places. Perry has not been anywhere near as prolific as Lennie in the wiggle/jiggle department, but has indulged nevertheless. His first foray into this habit was with the red mirror.
28th February 2017 – The red mirror.
However, Perry’s current preferred pleasurable place is the green peg (below).
26th June 2017 – The green peg.
I choose to believe this behaviour is completely normal. 🙂
Lennie’s Pleasurable Places
29 August 2017
Posted by on This post has been a long time coming & because of that, is quite long & video heavy. Warning over!
From early on, Lennie began to wiggle & jiggle when & where he could. He has come across as experimental but it is possible he has just not been fussed & made the most of whatever was available at the required time. In the following videos you can get a flavour of his open-mindedness.
1st December 2016 – Raffia toy.
14th December 2016 – Perch, holding onto millet.
22nd December 2016 – White seed feeder.
A sweetheart….

Posted by on Sometimes, when the toyboys are otherwise engaged, Phineas will tear himself away from monitoring them (mostly Cagney) & have a swing on the swinging perch. He usually chooses the lower rung to do this. He may even have a chat with the handsome dude in the mirror.

A beady mirror
1 October 2013
Posted by on The lantern mirror has always been popular in this household. Since Atilla kindly removed the clapper off the bell & I later removed the bell, the mirror has undergone some transformations. Here is the latest, adorned with paper rope & little beads:
And here are Phineas & Thomas checking it out:
