Cooper’s Favorite Things

The blinds in my office.

She is on them constantly.

Which is not a good thing. I don’t want her chewing them up or pooping on them.

It doesn’t matter how many times I shoo her away, every time I turn around, there she is, hanging on the blinds.

Naughty budgie!

Budgie Kabob

After reading about Susan’s kabob for her little Ellie, I had to go to the pet store and get one for the flock.

I loaded it up with Granny Smith apple, banana, carrot. I added some lettuce to entice the budgies.

But the budgies kept their distance.

Except for Ozzie, who is crazy about lettuce.

Peek-a-boo!

A Feathery Fairy Tale

Michelle M. — Mon, 20 May 2013 08:47:51 +0000

Once upon a time there was a beautiful little princess who was admired far and wide.

The tiny princess was adored by her faithful humans, who pampered her and fed her only the choicest seeds and finest millet. But her humans knew that if their beloved little princess was to live a long and healthy life she needed to eat more than just seeds. One day they decided to introduce organic fruits and vegetables into the royal diet.They presented the petite princess with a plump green pea. But Her Royal Highness was not pleased.Next, the humans tried to tempt her with a crisp, juicy red apple. But the princess would have none of it.Her devoted humans would not be deterred, however. They cajoled her with a crunchy carrot. But the wee princess did not seem interested in the least.Next up was a golden ear of sweet corn.

“Sweets for the sweet!”, the humans cried. But the stubborn little princess would not be swayed.

Succulent blueberries fit for a queen were next on the menu. But the royal budgie refused even a taste.Next, a beautiful yellow banana picked at the height of ripeness was peeled and offered to the parakeet princess. Alas, it remained untouched. Finally, a verdant floret of broccoli was set before the princess.

“Try this, Your Highness! It will make your eyes bright and your plumage glossy!”

Whether she found the broccoli intriguing, or the persistence of her humans tiresome, the persnickety princess finally deigned to give the veggie a nibble.And wonder of wonders, she liked it! The loyal humans knew that with patience and perseverance their precious princess would feast upon a variety of veggies and fruits. There followed a great rejoicing throughout the realm and the little princess and her loyal humans lived happily and healthily ever after.

Little Ozzie had a great time in the bath today. I hope it took his mind off of all those pinnies coming in.

Sunny’s toys

For her birthday, Sunny received the “Mini Starburst” toy from Superbird Creations. The other budgies helped her play with it (especially Ozzie).

She also got her favorite toy – marshmallows (kabobs) and feasted on millet. Sunny wants everyone to know she’s moulting and doesn’t usually look this scraggly.
