sandra902 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 what a funny little habit! i was enchanted with the photo of the grey peeking through the hole in the newspaper. now i find merly will peek at me through the center of his rope wreath. he will also peek at me through the little ring holding one of his hanging toys. why are they fond of peeking? just a curious observation. -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I guess they are as inquisitive as we can be, a hole just makes us want to look thru and it is the same with them. I just never thought about it before you brought the subject up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I keep a 12 pack Pepsi carton in Dayos cage floor all the time. He loves to walk inside, chew a hole an watch you through it. I think they believe the are being sneaky and you don't notice them. :-) He goes through around a 12 pk a Month ;-) by then it is chewed to pieces. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra902 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 i like it that your dayo plays like that. young merlin was confined in a too-small bunny carrier for weeks before he was finally surrendered to rescue so i think he was robbed of that playful part of having a 'fort'. but who knows i might be limiting him in my own thoughts! so his little fort is not covered in splats?

danmcq Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi Sandra - Now that you mentioned that. No, He never Poops on it. I guess he values his fort to much to place "Graffiti" on it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra902 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 i found this soft sided collapsible cat carrier that i thought merlin might like as a fort. i found one of those toddler toys with a wooden base and the big beads they could make go up and down the metal/heavy wire hills. so i propped it open on the floor near the base of his ladder thinking it would be fun for him. um, no...it was a new bird-killing device from the devil's daughter. ah well! they are each little individuals that is for sure.<br><br>Post edited by: sandra902, at: 2008/03/29 23:04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siobha9 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That is a really good photo. I was wondering why you posted a picture of a box and then I spotted Nikkos eye Karma for making me smile this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That is a great pic. When I cover Charlie on a night there is a small gap at the bottom and he jumps straight down and continues to watch us until HE is ready for bed. Its so funny, its like a big came of peek a boo to him. If we ignore him you will here HELLO! They are so funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibibi Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Very cute pic. I wonder if it has to do with them peeking out of their nest as babies? They nest in tree holes in the wild don't they? That would also explain why they don't "poop" inside their "fort" Of course this doesn't explain the behavior of those raised in captivity but it may be an instinctual thing.

She peeks out of them in the morning so that she knows when I wake up (and promptly demands to be gotten up). My mom has fixed the cover several times, but said no more. Looks like I'll have to relearn how to sew :unsure:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
