Today marks the 13th anniversary of Cooper’s blog.
We brought Cooper home in August 2011. It didn’t take long to realize what a special little budgie she was, so I decided to share her photos and adventures on her blog – and later on Facebook and Instagram (@cooperkeet).
Sido, Marvin and Tippi will do their best to carry on the feathery fun.
We want to send our love and thanks to all of our flock friends who stop by to see what they are up to.
Some of Cooper’s words of wisdom over the years.
This photo came up in my facebook memories today.
From September 19, 2011. This is the day we brought Cooper home.
This may be my first ever photo of Cooper.

Happy Fourth of July!

Here’s hoping for a brighter future for the United States.

Cooper with her budgie flock.
We decided to bring Dewey home as a companion for Cooper, and then we adopted Ozzie, and then Sunny, Emmy, Alfie, Gordie, Lera, Felix, Harvey and Riley. If it weren’t for Cooper, we would have never had these sweet, funny, feisty little budgies in our lives.

Wishing Coopie a heavenly hatchday.
We were lucky to celebrate 12 hatchdays with Cooper.
Never posted video of Cooper during her “I Can Remember” photoshoot.
Several of our friends got together and made a donation in Cooper’s honor to Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue.
Mickaboo rescues companion birds who have been neglected, injured, abused or surrendered. They provide medical and supportive care and ensure that they will have a safe, loving environment for life. We can’t think of a better way to commemorate Cooper’s life.
Thank you to Tam, Steven, Talita, Chris D., Tim, Justin, Heather, Mark, Craig, Andrew, Patricia, John, Amanda, Jackie, David P., Ryan, Chris S., David S., Adam, Drazen and Mel.
We are so grateful to have such wonderful friends.
We love you!
Michelle and Harry
A picture I took of Cooper on January 7th of this year. This was my last “posed” photo of her.
As always, she was picture perfect. 💙
