The Case of the Missing Tail Feathers
One of the budgies lost its tail feathers? But which one?
Cooper P.I. is on the case!
First she examined the evidence.
Then she made a list of the usual suspects.
A visit to the scene of the crime was in order.
After a little surveillance, Cooper determined that Dewey was not the guilty party.
Ozzie is impeding the investigation. Highly suspicious!
But it looks like he’s in the clear.
Sunny appears to be innocent.
As well as Alfie (who was not even in the room at the time).
After all that sleuthing Cooper is stumped. Who on earth could those feathers belong to?
Guess this mystery might go unsolved…
If anyone out there has any information or tips relating to this mystery, please contact Cooper P.I. in the comments section.
The Stance
I’ve been noticing the budgies in this stance lately.
Dewey
Sunny
Ozzie
Not sure what this is all about. It’s been warm, so maybe it’s their way of cooling off? Or maybe they’re just trying to look badass…
A little R&R
The pookies are going to take a week off from blogging for a little vacation. They found some fun stuff on the internet to share on Cooper’s Corner until they return, so check back. See you soon!
It’s A Paper Towel Party!
The budgies were all about the paper towels today.
Of course, Cooper was the first to investigate.
A rare picture of Sunny and Cooper together (before Sunny chased her off).
Dewey patiently waited his turn.
Ozzie seeing what all the fuss is about.
I could not keep Sunny away from the towels. She was fascinated by them.
What is down there anyway?
Nibbling on the edge was lots of fun, too.
Silly budgies.
A Great Grater
While out and about I saw this mini-grater and thought it would be perfect for the budgies.
For their food! Not to use on the budgies! Sheesh.
I grated up some carrot, broccoli and apple (organic, of course)*. Clean up was a breeze!
*I may have added some millet to entice them…
And the budgies enjoyed their feast. Yay!
Dining al fresco
As I was cleaning the budgies’ cage, I turned around and saw this –
I guess they didn’t want to wait for me to put their food dishes back in the cage.
All together now
Just some pics of the flock hanging out and being cute.
Hanging out at the pool.
Play gym!
I bought a play gym the other day for the budgies. I needed something that would fit on the top of the bookshelf and (hopefully) prevent the budgies from chewing it up.
It’s the Bird Activity Center from Penn-Plax. You put it together! Cooper helped me out. You’re supposed to glue the posts in, but we skipped that part. I wouldn’t want the budgies to chew down to the glue and ingest any.
Once our brave budgie Cooper gave it a thorough inspection (and it didn’t eat her), the rest of the flock decided to join her on the gym.
See, nothing to be scared of!
Ozzie looks right at home.
The first thing Sunny did was chew on the edge.
Dewey, sitting pretty.
The budgies enjoy flying back and forth between the gym and their cage. I replaced the green globbie thing with more stuff for the budgies to chew. They weren’t using the swing, so I used the hooks to hang up some toys. And (for now) the budgies aren’t chewing on my bookcase…
but they are going to town on the sides of the gym. Sigh.
