Today is the Great American Smokeout. 
No.
Nope.
Smoking is silly. Hopefully, you don’t smoke.
But if you do, Cooper urges you to give up the habit!
Look what came in the mail!
I ordered two budgie charms from ajhjewellery,
and made them into earrings.
Twice as nice!
Brrr. It’s getting chilly. Time to slip on a budgie sweater!
Or a sweatshirt, or a hoodie – and don’t forget the little ones!
Two years ago, today, Emmy joined the flock.
Emmy in November, 2013.
Emmy in November, 2014.
Emmy today.
Emmy has come such a long way since we first brought her home. Last year at this time she was finally stepping up – but would hop off as soon as possible. Now she’s a pro at perching on our fingers. She’s proof positive that patience pays off.
Emmy is still a bit of a homebody. Sometimes we have to take her out of the cage, so that she will fly around and play with the budgies. She seems to prefer coming out in the evenings.
Emmy loves to take baths. And she’s become a very curious budgie. She has started investigating the objects in the room, and has even started perching on our shoulders. She and Ozzie are a cute couple – if Ozzie is out of the cage, she will chirp loudly until he comes back to her. While she and Ozzie are bonded, she doesn’t mind sharing him with Sunny.
Emmy is such a sweet little bird, I just love seeing her little face every day. And kissing her little whipped cream belly!
Happy anniversary Emmy – we love you!
It’s “Shredder Rolls” by Molly’s Bird Toys.
In October, 120 parakeets were found packed in boxes along a highway in Oklahoma. They are now at Oklahoma City’s Animal Welfare Building. They are trying to discover where the birds came from. They will announce soon whether the budgies will be up for adoption. Hopefully, they’ll all find good homes.
