Michelle is gone for the weekend and I was left in charge. I forgot what I needed to do for a post and took a picture of Cooper and Sunny.Oops1After talking to Michelle, I remembered (after being told) that I was supposed to take a photo of the new bird. Yay!Oops2I didn’t like how that turned out, so I took the top off the cage and… spooked her with my camera. Eeks! She flew away and crawled under the couch. After much coaxing, I managed to get her here.Oops3Welcome to the flock, Nuni! (That’s not her name, I just like to call her that).

A while ago something arrived in the mail.

cagebox(insert “What’s in the box?” joke here)instructionsIt was a brand new cage for the budgies! Harry put it together.cooperviseCooper “coopervised”.finishHere’s Cooper deciding if Harry’s work is acceptable.allOnce she deemed the cage suitable, the budgies moved in.aAlfie is never far from a bell.cCooper was not too excited about having her picture taken – she is moulting and doesn’t feel she looks her best. sSunny was too busy taking apart the marshmallow toy to pose.eEmmy sitting pretty. The cage has a divider, which is up at present. Until Emmy is finger tamed we have her separated from the others. Ozzie spends his time going back and forth between sides.0Which is easy to do when you have your own airplane!

Emmy meets the flock

Even though Emmy isn’t finger tame (or even close to being so), we put her cage in the same room with the rest of the flock. We thought maybe Emmy’s presence would be a bit of a distraction for the budgies.

ceCooper didn’t seem too curious about the new girl.

aAlfie showed some initial interest, so I put him in the cage with her. But he just wanted to play with her toy.

fI took all the budgies out to visit.

sleepThey promptly fell asleep.

Poor Emmy – she so wants to be with them, and goes nuts climbing all over the cage to get to them. But the budgies just don’t seem to be interested. Maybe it’s because she’s so young.

oThank goodness for Ozzie. He’s our little welcome wagon. He’ll fly over and visit occasionally with her. What a little sweetie.
