Baby budgie obssesed with mirror?
I got a male budgie a month ago. He is now 2 months old and he is bonding with me well and steps up when he feels like it :/ my main concern is his obsession with any toy that has a mirror. He will ignore the other 8 toys in his cage and sit in one spot staring at his reflection, I move the mirror and he will move with it. Should I remove the mirror from his cage? Can it cause anxiety or a risk of him bonding more with his reflection than me?
Also my boyfriend has a rainbow lorikeet and we are slowly introducing the two to each other but the budgie seems aggressive, could the mirror be the cause of aggressive behaviour?
He has a very large cage, he gets out to play atleast once a day, his wing has been trimmed, he isn't frightened by loud noises such as vacuums and can even travel in the car

5 AnswersBirds9 years agoSmall sore on my gum that hasnt healed yet?
Hi,
I have a small sore on my gum just above my tooth thats been there for about 2 weeks now. When i was eating popcorn a peice of the shell got stuck between my tooth and my gum, I pulled it out about 2 days later but now there is this sore there. It doesnt hurt at all and hasnt got any bigger but I'm getting a little nervous that it may lead to bigger problems.
Anyone had this before or have any idea what it could be?
Thanks

9 AnswersFish9 years agoSwanson lorikeet biting?! :(?
My boyfriend bought a Swanson (rainbow) lorikeet about 6 months ago. He was hand reared, but he never seemed to like me he loves my boyfriend though. When my boyfriend goes away and I look after him he always flies to me and clings to the front of my shirt all day and sits on my shoulder, but when my boyfriend is home he chases me and bites my feet and loves to bite any exposed skin, my fingers, scalp, shoulders, legs, toes. I don't yell or hit his beak or anything but why is he aggresive towards me?
And how can I not show my fear I'm really scared of him biting my face and ears! It hurts!
He's a happy little bird with lots of different toys and he chatters to himself :)
Ps not sure of the sex because we can't afford DNA sexing but I assume it's a "he"

2 AnswersCooking & Recipes9 years agoCost effective heating in a house with high ceilings?
Ive just moved into a rented apartment (so i can make no changes, nor can I ask my landlord to as she is 86 and doesnt have the money) with 12ft Ceilings (3.6m), come winter im always cold so I want to find the most cost effective way to heat the house. The catches being that the ceilings are tall and its all open plan space so the bedroom, kitchen, lounge and diningroom are all one big space so there arent doors to shut to trap the heat.
So what can I do to stop my power bills going through the roof and be comfotably warm?
Thanks In Advance

2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans10 years agoSamsung galaxy tab help?!?
Hi I just bought a samsung galaxy tab (secon hand) but when I got it home I found it was locked with a pattern. Me being impatient tried to guess the pattern which eventually locked me out saying that I have to sign in with the gogole account linked to the tab, but I'm not able to ger in contact with the seller. I have always been an apple user so I am clueless when it comes to android, am I able to do a factory reset or similar that will wipe the pattern and any other data on the tab? And if so how do i go about that?
Thanks in advance :)

3 AnswersCooking & Recipes10 years agoHow can I stop grinding/clenching my teeth?
My dentist has made me a proper guard to wear at night but within a month I had already ground deep grooves into it. I still wear it at night to protect my teeth from further damage (I have some porcelain crowns im terrified of damaging) but I also find myself subconsciously clenching my teeth during the day. The pain I experienced before the guard was made has greatly dinished! My dentist is at a loss with me.
Has anyone found a solution to this?(preferably not too costly)
