In the spotlight – Alfie!

When Alfie sees the green plate leave the room, he knows food is on its way. This is what I see when I walk back in. “Feeeeeeeed meeeeeeeeee!”

730 days of Alfie

Posted on July 2, 2015 by Michelle M.

Two years ago we brought our little Alfie home from the animal shelter.

Alfie (7/2/2013)They handed him to me in a box. I had no idea what he looked like until I got him home. What a wonderful surprise to find such an adorable budgie!

Alfie (7/2/14)Alfie (who narrowly escaped the name “Captain Underpants”) has been such a joy to us over the past two years. His antics always make us laugh, and he’s a sweetheart to boot.

(7/2/15)We love you Alfie – happy anniversary!

A day in the life of Alfie

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Michelle M.

Well, some of it anyway.

Alfie loves to eat. Here he is “helping” me fill the feeders for breakfast.Always with the food on the face.I’m not sure which Alfie loves more – food or his bells. He gets anxious when we take the bells out to clean them.Making sure Harry did a good job.Playtime!A little grooming…Proofreading Cooper’s Corner. Alfie likes to sit on my hand when I type – I’m getting pretty good at typing “budgie style”. WOW! Look at all that lettuce (an Alfie favorite). Alfie is always the first one to the food. Alfie also loves baths. He is a budgie of many passions.Recharging his budgie batteries. …and ready to go! Here’s a clip of our little Alfiebug in action:

New swings!

The budgies have new swings!I saw them on the TalkBudgies site and had to have them for the flock. I ordered two from master swing maker Rick. The budgies jumped right on.They look so cute hanging around on their rainbow swings.

Birthday Bells

Alfie’s birthday present finally arrived in the mail.It’s the 4 Ring a Ding bird toy by All Bonka Bird Toys. Alfie is being shy in the photo, but he loves his bells. He started playing with them before I even got them in the cage.
