| The other day, something spooked one of the birds. And when one gets spooked, they all get spooked. They went into flight, and after a couple of laps in the room, Bonnie landed on her cage, and Einstein landed on me. Clyde however, fly right between the blinds and the window. He was trapped, and freaking out. I quickly went over, and got him out. He then did something very uncharacteristic of himself. He sat on my finger and just looked at me. He didn't fly off or start calling Bonnie, but decided to stay on my hand. I then went in for a kiss, and he gave me one. He then went on to give me another. I started petting his back, then I walked over and placed him next to Bonnie. Later than night, I was laying in bed with Einstein, and Clyde, alone, fly onto me and started clicking his beak. Just an exciting night  | |

| Cute story! Somehow it takes a while to win those little monster trust, and it needs a lot of every day "repeating bonding" to keep it that way. My budgies go "on" and "off" all the time. I never know, when each of them will have a good day for me  | |
