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:

Budgie Kabob

After reading about Susan’s kabob for her little Ellie, I had to go to the pet store and get one for the flock.

I loaded it up with Granny Smith apple, banana and carrot. I added some lettuce to entice the budgies.

But the budgies kept their distance.

Except for Ozzie, who is crazy about lettuce.

Peek-a-boo!

I’m still trying to get some good flight photos.

Introducing Sunny

Posted on April 7, 2013 by Michelle M.

We put Sunny’s cage in the same room with the other budgies.

They seemed excited to see each other.

Then we let Cooper, Dewey and Ozzie out (while Sunny was in her cage) to see how they would behave. Cooper seemed indifferent and Ozzie preferred to play with the string of a toy, but Dewey was fascinated with Sunny. I think he’s in looooooove. And fickle! He’s supposed to be Cooper’s boyfriend…

Hopefully, Sunny will see how we interact with the other budgies and become tamer. She’ll step up while she’s in her cage, but not when she’s out of it.
