There are so many amazing and talented birds in the world that Cooper decided to showcase one every month.
Here is the amazing Snowball (an Eleonora cockatoo) dancing to some holiday favorites.
Snowball has appeared in television commercials and television snows. This talented bird has been noted as the first (non human) animal proven to be capable of beat induction. You can see more Snowball videos on Youtube.
These small trinket boxes by Limoges.
So cute. And perfect for hiding away a little millet (when you don’t want to share).
Happy Hanukkah!
Sunny is OBSESSED with the paper towels. She figured out how to go through the “tunnel”. I think she’s trying to turn the tube into a nest and start a little family with Dewey. Here she is in action:
Here is Britney Spears buying a budgie in 2007.
Oops! She did it again. Britney buys another budgie in 2009.
Here’s a closer look at Britney’s budgie.
Artist Sadie Campbell creates miniature sculptures using a magnifying glass and tweezers. Here are some of her tiny birds:
And here are her wee little budgies:
We don’t always get Cooper’s photo right on the first shot*. Here are some pics that didn’t make the cut.

Leftovers.
And napping.
Today is also the second anniversary of Cooper’s Corner – so the budgies had two reasons to celebrate.
Dewey started with an appetizer of oats (his favorite). Yum!
First course was a salad.
The main course was Momma Bird’s Caribbean Loaf Birdie Bread (with a side of grated carrot). Ozzie digs in.
Alfie LOVED the bread.
He went back for a second helping.
And a third helping. He needs to work on his table manners, though. We don’t get in our food to eat it, Alfie.
Please pass the millet!
The budgies had fresh Granny Smith apple slices for dessert.
Happy Thanksgiving!
*Cooper wanted it to be called “Budgie Day” until she found out what happens to the turkeys.
