That’s what day it is!



Thanks and love to Shivangi for sending this incredible ice cream cone edible perch for the flock. XOXO

This amazing collage of Princess Cooper (by Sunde White) was commissioned by our dear friend Jan (and budgie Puck).

Here is a closer look at Princess Cooper in her royal garb.
Jan, we absolutely adore this picture. It’s so colorful and fun – from Cooper’s palace to the fields of millet. I smile every time I see it.
Thank you so, so much, XOXO.
Cooper!

Cooper is used to the spotlight. She’s been posing for the camera since she was a tiny little budgie.
She is a very curious bird – and very brave. She sometimes comes over to investigate her props before I’ve finished setting them up. It’s not unusual to get the perfect picture in our first shot. She is such a pro!
Cooper is the reason we have a flock. She was an only until the first time we had to leave her for a day. We came back at night and she hadn’t moved from her perch since we left the house. So off we went to find her a little friend (Dewey).
Cooper’s favorite toy is balsa – and she likes her veggies. She loves to sing quietly along with music – she has the sweetest little chirps.
If there is a water dish out, Cooper will find it. She likes to perch on the edge and flirt with bathing. Now that she is older, she doesn’t like to get all the way into her bathtub – so she gets spritzes as well.
I started Cooper’s blog (Cooper’s Corner) almost 10 years ago because I adore her and wanted to share her with the world. She has brought us such love and joy. We have met so many great people through the blog – special friends we’ve even met in real life. She has been such a gift and we treasure every moment with her.
Sido!

With the pandemic (and working from home), Sido became even more attached to Harry. Now that he goes into the office, I have to take her around the house so that she can see he is not home. Once she knows he is not hiding from her, she can get on with her day. She is very happy and excited when he returns. Lots of loud screeching when she hears him coming down the hallway. Hopefully, she is not on my shoulder at the time.
Her favorite food is strawberries. She likes to pick the seeds off and makes quite a mess of them. Flinging mash is also a Sido specialty.
Sido is our little love bug. She loves to be with her humans – riding on a shoulder, watching tv or taking a nap lap. She also enjoys a nice spritz or scritch session. Scritching is the best!
