I noticed around 4-4:30 Mr Tweets is pacing back and forth and flock calling for seeds, I figured out that he doesn't eat much veggies for lunch and just waits to eat the seeds. I am not sure how to handle this because around 5-6, I cover them for the night (or day lol).

My father to me: "If you eat one more spoonful of those peas, you can get down from the table. Otherwise, you just have to sit here." Then, when no one is looking, my grandma grabbed some of the peas from my plate and hid them in a napkin on her lap.

Aww, such a sweet memory of your grandma. So, since she hid them rather than just eating them, does this mean she shared your dislike of peas?

That's a good question! I don't know. She was wonderful to me. Her name was Mildred. She was born in the 1880s, had an eighth grade education, and worked in a garment factory when she was young. My grandmother's first husband died, and she then married the brother of her sister's husband. He was my grandfather and he already had a son from his fist marriage (his first wife died when my uncle was very young). The cousins (including my father) were very close. We used to have "cousins parties" when I was growing up.

It's okay for budgies to occasionally feel hunger, just like its okay for us to get the tummy rumbles if we are late to lunch, it doesn't do us harm. Now, budgies do starve very quickly in comparison to people (something like 24-48 hours to our three weeks) but that is not what is happening here. If Tweets were really hungry, he'd eat his veggies. If he were desperate and his body was screaming at him for food, he'd stuff them in his face like they were candy. If he's just being finicky, there is no reason for concern. Just try giving him his evening seed in veggies so that he really can't escape

Diana, your story of your grandma made me remember something about my great-grandma. She was also born in the 1880’s, and her name was Ella. I love the name Ella and am happy that it's come back around in popularity. Anyway, when I was born, my parents named me Pamela. Granny thought they'd named me Pam Ella, and that I was named for her. My first little birthday card has "Dear Pam Ella" neatly written inside. Someone must have had the very difficult task of setting her straight, because by my second birthday, my card said, "Dear Pamela."
