Today marks the 12th 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 antics on this blog.
Cooper wants to send her love and thanks to all of her friends who stop by to see what she and the flock are up to.


This year Cooper decided to donate her earnings from her Redbubble store to Little Beaks. Little Beaks is a sanctuary for small able and special needs pet birds in Perth, Western Australia.
They do wonderful things for the littles.
You can read more about Little Beaks here.
Cooper has a shop on Redbubble. She donates what she makes (after Redbubble takes its cut) to her favorite bird rescues. This is the fourth year she will be adopting a turkey through Farm Sanctuary.

This year Cooper adopted Thelma.

You can read more about Farm Sanctuary here.
Cooper recommends skipping the turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s all about the sides anyway.
