Quirky Chins?

I'll see what fun toys we can make!

I gave Shelly a new apple stick tonight during her playtime. She grabbed it out of my hand and jumped across the room like a crazy kangaroo. Do your chins do this too??

my boy Fatty also won't get back in his cage willingly so when playtime is over I have to walk around the room sort of coralling him and then he just runs to this one little corner and just stares at me until I pick him up. Also Buckie rarely will come sit in my lap when he's out, but if I lay down on the couch at all, he is right there nibbling on my face. A few months ago I had a bowl of banana nut cheerios (no milk).Buckie was dead set on trying to get one. I had to just get up because he was flipping out over them but before I did he managed to grab one. I got it away before he ate it but for a month after that, he wanted nothing to do with me.

Fatty is a big on the kangaroo hopping thing. He grabs the strangest things too. kleenex, he tried my car keys, toys, pad of post its, etc. he even tried to carry my shoe like that.

HAHAHAHAHA...She would much rather eat my shoes thatn try to carry them. However, once I left her brush on the floor and the next thing I knew it was gone. I then saw my crazy kangaroo bouncing across the living room with it.

Mine loves shiny things! Especially my engagement ring, for some reason. I never take it off or anything, for fear of her stealing it,but every time she is out for play time she has to nibble on it. And if I am wearing a necklace, she will jump on my lap and stand up and nibble on it, as well.

I think Shell likes the smell of my shampoo. If I let her out after I have taken a shower she feels the need to play with my hair. I think she is playing with my hair...She could be playing with my hair tie and I just don't know it.

See what we don't know is that our chins are secretly trying to obtain all our things to bring them back to their herd for hoarding.

 

[fluke]

oh yea. definitely hoarders. When my boys had more free reign (which I stopped because I couldn't keep a constant eye on them which is dangerous even for a second), Fatty built up these huge piles of stuff under my bed. Lots of tissues, all the chew sticks (whenever Buckie dropped his out of the cage, Fatty stole them), my wallet, my belt, a found a ribbon under there, their little stuffed elephant, pens, keys, etc all in this nice little pile. Even now, if my shoes are untied, he will sit and tug on my shoelaces like a dog, I suppose trying to steal my shoes, or the laces. not sure. they're devious little things arent they?

And, the necklace I always wear and have for years has multiple chinnie bite marks on it.

Be careful, my cockatiel popped the diamond out of my wedding ring. I'm sure a chin could too.
