Vole?
Voles and shrews are mouse like.
This one was a field mouse, the larger head and bug eyes gave him away.
That, and he wasn't completely black, he had a lighter underside.
Had a parakeet named Chipper too, I was very young when we had him, so I don't remember much abut him.
The one I remember the most is Lasitter (As in the cat burglar from the Tom Selleck movie) Well, Lasitter would climb the side of the cage, climb across the ceiling of said cage upside down, and then descend the other side.
He also liked to hang upside down from his swing and bb his head to make the swing move.
Flutter, the last 'keet we had, was te one who called my cat.
He also had something for looking at his mirror and then looking at you in rapid succession. Then he'd bob his head up & down and make laugh noises.
A more demented bird was never seen.
