Caught in the Act

This had been happening recently:

spillOne of the budgies was knocking the seed cups down, spilling perfectly good seed on the bottom of the cage. We suspected Dewey. Though mild-mannered, he has been known to knock around the food cup when it has too many pellets (and not enough oats) in it. But to be sure, we set up the CooperCam to see who the culprit was. We later fast forwarded through three hours of footage and saw this:

badbudgieIt was Sunny! This little one definitely has a naughty streak.

harryHarry got to work and budgie-proofed the seed cups.

haYour move, budgies.

Uh, remember that toy from 3 posts ago? The one I thought would last for more than a week? bbWell, this one* was on a mission to prove me wrong.

The budgies are driving me nuts. They started gnawing on my bookcase, so I covered it with a towel to keep it from becoming a chew toy (Harry is going to rig something up later to prevent this from happening).

naughtytrainAll aboard the naughty train!

And I don’t know what it is about the window blinds, but I cannot keep the budgies off of them (Dewey is Sunny’s shadow).
