We gave Sido a bath. I’m not sure if she had ever had one before. It took her awhile to approach the water, but she finally got in. And then just stood there. No splashing or playing in the water. She’ll climb out and then climb in again and stand there. Well, at least her feet are clean : ).
But every week is budgie week!
Budgie cross stitch!

Meet Athena!
Athena lives in Norway with Annika.
Athena is a violet cobalt, dominant pied, opaline, cinnamon female budgie. She was born right before New Year’s Eve 2014.
Athena likes blueberries…
Yum!
Athena has a blog, so you can check in and see what this sweet as sugar budgie is up to.
Scratching those pinnies.
Recently, we received a package from Susan and her flock. Inside was this lovely card, with a sticker for each of the birds,
A Sido “mini mi”,
an adorable cockatiel ring,
and a shreddable play mat that Sido is happily taking apart.
We are so very lucky to have such wonderful friends – thank you so much Susan!
Love,
Sido and her flock XO
Two years ago we brought our little Alfie home from the animal shelter.
Alfie (7/2/2013)
They handed him to me in a box. I had no idea what he looked like until I got him home. What a wonderful surprise to find such an adorable budgie!
Alfie (7/2/14)
Alfie (who narrowly escaped the name “Captain Underpants”) has been such a joy to us over the past two years. His antics always make us laugh, and he’s a sweetheart to boot.

We love you Alfie – happy anniversary!
