I was going to ask you how Lucy was doing, but was afraid, in case it was bad news. I'm so happy you're all doing so well together!

Ahhh, yes. I should really post more on Lucy but she is a very quiet shy little thing that doesn't get up to as much shenanigans as Stumpy, so a brief synopsis is enough to cover her activities!

When she gets as brazen as Headbutter then I'll post more!

it sounds like someone doesn't think you should be wasting your time on WOW and should spend it all on them :D

I used to try doing jigsaws, Sylvester would throw a piece on the floor, when I picked ut up he'd search for the same one and fling it down again then watch me expectantly

You didn't understand anything! Sylvester was obviously playing fetch with you. ;)

it was a game I got extremly good at over the 15 years or so ;)

I love him dearly and if you ever want to try and recreate the headbutting experience get a desert spoon and whap your forehead with it like your trying to shell a boiled egg. Once you've done that then your somewhat close.

Stumpy has tried the foot stomping thing but only having one foot it tends to put him a bit off balance!

And yes, I do love him and his antics dearly!

I loves them both dearly!

Is it possible he's begging for skritches? If he's making a whining/staticky noise, then he definitely wants you to scratch his head, but even if he's not crooning like that he may want it.

Stumpy hates my fingers anywhere near his head. I do try to give him scritches and he'll take to the air or start "fencing" with his beak!

So I know its not scritches he's after though he does have a kissy noise when he wants me to kiss the top of his head.

Just his laughter chatter when he bangs heads.

the headbanging thing is, as far as I know, a happy behaviour - check out this video - it's called bird hates can, but that's not really what's going on - they like to drum on things rhythmically

My birds love it when they do a bit of drumming, and then I do some back - I'm sure it must be annoying when your bird does it to your head, but it could be a great opportunity for bonding - if you can get him to bang on something else, and bang back, you can strengthen the freindship between you.
