The budgies enjoyed a veggie salad today (grated carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and zucchini – and a little romaine lettuce).
Alfie couldn’t even wait for me to put the dish in the cage.
The little guy sure loves his veggies!
Yum!
Someone needs a napkin.
Cooper wants to know, what’s your favorite flavor?
La Cachette
Petite Entrepot
Sugar Mill Cakes
Life as a Dessertarian
Grue Press
Oven Nisshi
Micarina
Not sure who makes these, but they’re almost too cute to eat!
Here is Emmy enjoying some broccolini.
Yum!
We all scream for budgie ice cream??
Japan’s Torimi cafe is serving up budgie ice cream (other flavors are cockatiel and java sparrow). The ice cream is not made from the birds, but is a combination of what the birds eat and the flavor of the birds. “Parakeet” has a vanilla ice cream base with honey, apple and grains blended in. According to Torimi cafe, “It’s like eating some vanilla ice cream in one hand, and then taking a whiff of a parakeet in your other hand.”
The ice cream was so successful, Torimi added ice cream sandwiches to the line. They can only make 20 batches at a time and are having trouble keeping up with demand.
Would you like to try budgie ice cream?

Alfie noticed Harry with his food dish, so he flew over to investigate.
Harry gave him a few oats to munch on.
But then he spied the open seed container…
And he flew right in!
Mine, mine, mine!
Here’s Alfie in action:
Leftovers.
And napping.
Today is also the second anniversary of Cooper’s Corner – so the budgies had two reasons to celebrate.
Dewey started with an appetizer of oats (his favorite). Yum!
First course was a salad.
The main course was Momma Bird’s Caribbean Loaf Birdie Bread (with a side of grated carrot). Ozzie digs in.
Alfie LOVED the bread.
He went back for a second helping.
And a third helping. He needs to work on his table manners, though. We don’t get in our food to eat it, Alfie.
Please pass the millet!
The budgies had fresh Granny Smith apple slices for dessert.
Happy Thanksgiving!
*Cooper wanted it to be called “Budgie Day” until she found out what happens to the turkeys.
