Well, Barney and just treated MrS and I to an extra-special treat. I was in the middle of cleaning the hutch out when the Asda man came. I went and got the shopping in, MrS had just started to watch his recording of the Formula1 and was whistling the theme tune. (I am pretty sure that isn't actually relevant but I'm just setting the scene!).

MrS stopped whistling and I was about to come back into the lounge when we started to hear the weirdest noise - I started to look around for the boys in case one of them was hurt. Then I spotted Barney, sitting in his favourite spot by the curtains and beside MrS's chair chirping like a little bird. He carried on while we watched him. He did not seem distressed at all. We have never heard this before and we don't know why he did it but I feel very honoured that it was when we were able to see him.
 
It is a wonderful sound I have been lucky enough to hear Vader chirp twice, - but unfortunately never got chance to record it

I wish I had managed to record him but it lasted less than 30secs and I didn't want to distract him by looking for my phone.
 
It's such a wierd thing to behold - Pixel used to chirp nearly every day for a while but she doesn't seem to feel much like singing these days. I did manage to get a video once, I'll try and dig it out!
