One of Bandit's funny little habits was that he used to perch on his millet clip. This is a little metal gadget that clips on the cage bars and which you can open to fasten a piece of millet inside the cage. The clip in Bandit's cage was up near the top so the millet sprig could dangle down for him to eat. But he'd climb up there and sit on it and sing. As he got bigger, instead of perching with both feet on it, he'd have to use one foot to grab the side of the cage.

I turned around tonight as Pidge began to sing and burst out laughing.

There he was, sitting on his millet clip.
