Tried to take a photo of all the budgies together last night. It’s not easy getting them in one spot, with all eyes open.
Especially when they decide they want to take a nap.
Emmy likes to sleep lying down. She’s a little nut. 
An adorable little nut.
Cooper, Sunny and Emmy have been busy.
Why chew on your chew toys when you can destroy your perch?
Sunny is not about to share her balsa. Sorry Emmy.
The ending kills me (Sunny was fine).
It’s the Balsa Trap by Pet Terrific.
This wood on this toy is balsa – which the budgies LOVE. And which doesn’t last very long.
The girls destroyed the balsa within an hour. I had to make sure the boys got some play time, too. Maybe I just need to buy a big old hunk of balsa…
I didn’t have time to work on a post for today, so here’s a little video of Sunny (kind of) playing with the rings. She was weaving in and out of them until she saw the camera…
And here’s a photo of the flock. Ozzie and Felix are jockeying for position. Emmy kept hiding behind the play gym. Harvey wouldn’t face the camera and Alfie was falling asleep. This was the best we could do. Hopefully one day I’ll get a nice, clear shot of them all together. 
Emmy is wearing her winter white.
Three years ago, today, we brought little Emmy home.

Today
Emmy is our sweet baby. She still takes the occasional snooze on the bottom of the cage (bum in the air), and she likes to hang out on the bridge or on one of the new platforms. Her favorite place to be, though, is Sido’s cage. When Sido is out, Emmy makes herself right at home.
Emmy is a good eater and does a great job with her mash. She’s very messy and gets it all over her face – good thing she loves to take baths. She, Sunny and Ozzie are still our “Three’s Company” trio. Emmy also likes to run around on the floor with Alfie (looking for stray seeds).
Emmy has come such a long way from when she first moved in. I thought I would never see the day when she would step up. But she is a pro now, and even accepts kisses. Her whipped cream belly is my favorite place to plant a smooch on her. We couldn’t ask for a more adorable budgie.
Happy anniversary Emmy, we love you!
Look who’s three(ish)!
I can’t believe our “big baby” is three already!
Here she is checking out her present.
And here’s Ozzie eating her birthday millet (she did get plenty of her own).
Happy birthday Emmers – we love you!
A little while ago I bought a platform perch for Emmy. Because her left foot doesn’t have much of a grip, she would have another place to rest. 
The perch was a success. So much so, that the budgies have been squabbling over it. So, I bought another one.
The perches come with an attached footie toy (I took them off to give the budgies a little more room). 
The perches are 4 inches by 4 inches (they come in various sizes). You can find the perches at HappyWings on Etsy.
With two girlfriends, Ozzie is a busy boy.
