Cooper’s Cuties (part 2!)

Meet Butch!

butch1Butch lives in the U.S. with Shelly and Leon (yesterday’s cutie!).

butch2Butch was adopted from an animal shelter in 2011. He was very nervous around people and still is. My guess is that he was in a home with children who were loud and would grab at him. He prefers the company of birds, but will tolerate and has begun to trust me. Butch is vocal at times but mostly eye pins his toys and perches. He likes mirrors and pulling hay out of his shredder toys. He loves Leon and goes crazy if Leon is out on the tree and he is not. He also likes feeding Leon when they are together!

butch3Butch is a really sweet guy who was given a second chance. Though he has a harmless fatty tumor on his stomach, Leon treats him just as he would a normal bird. They are truly Partners in Crime and love screaming and making messes!

butch4Though butch is semi-wild, I hope to own more parakeets like him the future. Butch is a gentle soul who values friendship and embraces life.

Cooper’s Cuties

Meet Leon!

leon1Leon lives in the United States with Shelly and Butch (more on Butch tomorrow!).

leon2Leon is a sweet and playful guy who loves playing (and being fed by) Butch. He does go through his cycles of biting every so often, but warns before he bites by singing a certain way.

leontoyLeon’s friend is Butch –  but his best friend is a home made toy he is obsessed with (above)! He would sing to it all day if he could. Leon will go anywhere or sit on anything (like plastic dinosaurs!) to see his toy. He loves bells and mirrors more than anything and would rather see his toy than eat millet. He does enjoy eating lettuce, though, with the occasional carrots and broccoli.

leon4Leon really enjoys coming out on the big tree (soon to be 2 trees!) to play with Butch and the toys on the tree. Both budgies are very spoiled –  and get lots of toys made for them!
