I was poking my fingers through the cage bars the other night when I was tucking in the budgies, and giving Bobby kisses, when he came and sat with one foot on my hand, the other on the perch! I said to him "awwww Bobby are we holding hands", and got a flash of inspiration, lets see if we can teach him to do that!! :p
He picked it up in no time, I didn't even need to reward him with millet, just the excited tone of my voice, he knows he has done something good!! :D
I present my finger to him and say, Bobby lets hold hands! (I say hold hands in a high pitched voice)
He slowly lifts up one leg and places it on my finger!! I praise him all excited and high pitched - Clever boy Bobby!! What do you reckon his next words will be!! :p

He does it when he is on my finger (excuse the blurry pic, hubby took it!)

He will sit still for ages and hold my hand like this!!
He is such a clever little boy!!! :D
