LOL! SO cute! I never set a camera on my birds when we went out, but I am almost positive they do absolutely nothing when we go out. Sometimes, before we go out, I put Popcorn on his swing and leave.........for hours. When we get back, he's STILL there. Its so funny..........when we have him perch on the swing while we're at home, he hops off two seconds later. As to Muffin, well she is always in the same spot when we return as well. I'm assuming they get bored and go to sleep when we go out. That's what it seems like, because they are starved when we get home and go straight to their food bowls, have the biggest poops like they just woke up, and are still in the same spot when we arrive.
