Remembering Cooper

I like to remember our “rainbow” budgies on their hatchdays. Today would have been Cooper’s.

Trying to put into words what this little bird meant (and still means) to me is impossible. I hope one day I will be able to give her the tribute she deserves.
Cooper was the world to me. She was an endless source of joy, inspiration and love.
Because of Cooper, we ended up with a flock of beautiful little birds. Through her blog and social media we have met lifelong friends.
I miss her every day, but I know that I am so lucky to have had such an amazing, clever, curious, sweet budgie in my life. Thank you Cooper, for over twelve years of happy memories.

A package arrived for the flock containing goodies from Higgins Premium Pet Foods.
How exciting!

First up – Vita Seed natural blend bird seed. This seed mix has no artificial flavors or preservatives, contains protected probiotics and is Omega 3 and 6 balanced.

Vita Seed is made with top crop seeds and grains and premium dried fruits and vegetables.

Next up – Sunburst Gourmet Blend!
Wholesome seeds, grains, nuts, veggies and fruit make up this tasty blend.
This seed mix also has no artificial flavors or preservatives, contains protected probiotics and is Omega 3 and 6 balanced

Sunburst Freeze Dried Fruit is next. We received the Pineapple Mango pack.
The fruit is harvested and freeze dried at optimal ripeness to capture the best, natural flavors.

And again, this Higgins treat is free from added sugars, sulfites, preservatives and GMOs.

Also in the box – Sunburst Gourmet Treat Sticks! Higgins Treat Sticks (with beets and dandelions) are tasty and have no artificial colors, preservatives or added sugars. They are fun to crunch and come on easy to hang stick.

Tippi is a fan!

Remembering Sunny

I like to share memories of our “rainbow” budgies on what would have been their hatchdays.
Today would have been Sunny’s hatchday.
Sunny was a rehomed budgie – we found her on Craigslist.
She had a sweet, gentle, playful nature. But she also had a “naughty” side. She liked to tip over her food dish, nibble on books or investigate off limit areas. She was a good little girlfriend to Dewey and companion to our girls.
She was a water baby, and absolutely loved baths and spritzes. After bath time, she would be drenched.
A favorite game was to drop toys off the top of the cage for me to catch. She was often beak deep in balsa, and when she could no longer fly (due to arthritis) Sunny enjoyed her playtime on the floor with her footies. When she was ready to go back to her cage, she would hop on our feet to let us know.

We are so lucky we had sweet little Sunny in our lives, and for all the wonderful memories we have of our time with her.
