Tweeting birds

The parakeets are tweeting ... yes, they invented tweeting regardless of what anyone else says. The seem to have discovered the newspaper that lines the bottom of their cage, too. I heard noises coming from the cage like they were crawling around the bars, but they were near the edge of the cage chewing at the edge of the paper under the grate.

At first I was concerned, but apparently it's perfectly normal for them to do this so I'm not going to worry about it since, from what I've read, newspapers now use soy based inks in their pages. I'm not sure why they started chewing on the paper now, but it could be the way I positioned the newspaper when I cleaned their cage this time. We'll see what happens later.
