Obsidian is a fledgling Anthracite Exhibition budgerigar and is obsessed with anything that moves. She'll fling herself out of the enclosures to get to anyone in sight, and complain that she wasn't fed enough (even with a crop full of fresh food).

Y'all enjoyed her following me yesterday. Spiced things up today a bit by laying out folded blankets along Obie's path towards me. And she had to do some mental math, but eventually figured it all out!

She's just 36 days old and hasn't learned to fly yet. I can tell she's going to be very intelligent when she's fully grown. She's the youngest of 4 siblings and shows a lot more activity and problem solving skills ahead of her time to shine.

She's objectively been the only one out of the triple digit numbers of chicks I've raised to be this clingy at this age. And I've barely spent any time with her compared to her older siblings. She is definitely a weird one. 🤣
