A treat that some budgies enjoy.

More fun with paper towels!
The novelty of the paper towel roll has not worn off.
Going,
going,
gone!
Sunny thinks she owns the paper towels and chases the other budgies away. I put her in the cage so that Cooper could have a turn.
She went nuts watching Cooper playing with HER towels, so I had to let her out.
Caught in the Act
This had been happening recently:
One 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:
It was Sunny! This little one definitely has a naughty streak.
Harry got to work and budgie-proofed the seed cups.
Your move, budgies.
Will he or won’t he?

Blue beak
Uh, remember that toy from 3 posts ago? The one I thought would last for more than a week? 
Well, this one* was on a mission to prove me wrong.
*with a little help from Cooper and Ozzie.
She nibbled so much on the blue block that her beak turned blue.
I couldn’t get a photo of it, but her tongue was blue, too.
She went through 4 of the yucca pieces in 2 days.
Here she is posing with her “kill”.
Here she is in action:
Pardon the poops (some of which, by the way, were blue).
Bad Budgie
Argh.
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).
But now they just climb down the towel and hang off the end to chew on the bookcase. Or even worse, the wall paint – which is a big no no!
All 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).
Sunny likes to climb under the towel or blinds so I can’t find her. Here she is in action:

Cooper and Ozzie did a great job on their photo shoots, so they got a little treat.
Dewey and Ozzie get their scritch on.
