Sunny’s cere
The other day I noticed that Sunny’s cere was changing color.
It took about three days to go from brown (breeding condition) to a light blue.
Sunny also came out of her cage. She flew back and forth from the top of her cage to my bookshelf. It took me 15 minutes to get her back in her cage. She’ll step up on my finger, but won’t stay on for long. Guess we still have more work to do!
Moving Day
Recently, Ozzie packed up all of his belongings and moved in with Cooper and Dewey.
The three are getting along well. Ozzie is very popular. If he’s not hanging out with Cooper, he’s hanging out with Dewey. He’s rarely off on his own.
There has been the occasional squabble, but the budgies are doing a great job sharing their food/toys/perches. Cooper seems to have first dibs on everything, though. Hopefully, Sunny will have an easy move as well.
Moving can be exhausting…
Weigh in
I weighed the budgies today (except Sunny – who is not 100% tame yet).
Cooper:
Dewey:
and Ozzie:
In ounces, they are: Cooper – 1.4 oz., Dewey – 1.2 oz and Ozzie 1.1 oz.
Cooper’s wish list
Cooper loves the play gyms from BirdsComfort.com.
So, does she want the one level?
No. The two level?
Nope. How about the Three Level?
Noooooo. The Four Level?
Not good enough. How about the Five Level?
Ah, of course. The six level. Only the best for Cooper.
Budgie Bonanza!
Look what came in the mail!
A box from Susan filled with budgie goodness: Budgie cards, budgie figurines, books, a cute little budgie tray and a bunch of budgie stickers! How lucky am I? Thank you Susan!
A Trip to the Vet
Yesterday Cooper, Dewey and Ozzie went to the Vet! Dewey went to have his leg band closed up (it was open and catching on toys) and his Fu Manchu nails trimmed. Because Ozzie was a rescue bird from the animal shelter, he was eligible for a free exam. Cooper just went along for the ride.
Here they are in their travel cage in the waiting room.
Cooper decided to take a bath in the water dish. What a nut.
In the examination room. The little basket Ozzie is in is the scale. The budgies looked so tiny when the doctor examined them. He even listened to their hearts with a stethoscope – it was too cute.
Here is Dewey looking very dapper with his closed band and trimmed nails. The budgies were very brave and did a great job – so they were all rewarded with millet when they got home (Sunny, too!).
