Oprah Winfrey and Maria von Trapp aren’t the only ones who have favorite things.
The budgies love ribbons. We tie them to their post and they have fun untying the knots.

New Toy – December
This is the Vine Ball Candy Cane by Super Bird Creations.
Something tells me this won’t be the only new toy this month…
Cooper’s Compadres
Meet Angel!
Angel lives in Pennsylvania with Mama Polt (Polt’s mom!).
- Angel is 13 years old – which is really old in dog years.
- She likes to sleep.
- The only trick she knows is the following: hold one of her toys out to her, snap your fingers and say “down” – she sits, then lies down, and then rolls over on her side.
- She likes to chase any toy, and will retrieve any of them when they’re thrown. When she was younger, she’d do it until your arm fell off, now that she’s older, about two times and she’s done.
- She likes to run in the backyard, but again, not as much as she used to.
- Pupperoni’s are her favorite treat.
- She sleeps in her cage, and likes to retreat there to rest if there are rambunctious kids wearing her out.
- She likes to take walks around the block while wearing her over-the shoulders leash.
Happy Hanukkah!
Cooper – dreidel champion of the universe!
Need a little Christmas?
Here is Dante the African Grey Parrot to put you in the holiday mood.
And the winner is…
So how many M&M’s were in the jar?
The guess that came closest without going over was 716. Congratulations to Tam!
So what did Tam win??
Perfect Polly! The world’s PERFECT pet. And maybe some M&M’s.
The amazing Takara Tomy Manekko P-chan Talking Parakeet!
It’s what all the (cool) kids want for Christmas this year!
The P-chan comes programmed with some Japanese phrases and you can record up to 7 phrases of your own for it to repeat back to you.
The green bird (Morippi) is a bit of a comedian and will entertain you with the occasional Japanese pun.
The pink bird (Ohanappi) is a bit of a diva.
The blue bird (Sorappi) is a romantic and may surprise you with an unexpected declaration of love.
Which one is your favorite?
Did you know…?
Budgies love to play air hockey.
He shoots, He scores!
Here’s a little bit of the photo shoot for Carolyn. Dewey was definitely more into the game – but he would probably get a penalty for being offsides.
Cooper’s book report
The Parakeet Girl by Marilyn Sadler
After trying out a dog, a cat and a goldfish, Emma Tuttle finds the perfect pet – a parakeet named Henry. Henry does everything with Emma until one day her brother brings home a parakeet of his own. Henry falls in love with the new bird – a budgie named Kate. Soon Henry abandons Emma to spend all his time with Kate. Is Emma doomed to live a lifetime of loneliness??
Cooper enjoyed this book. She thought it was very romantic and loved that there were two blue budgies in the story. She also liked that Henry holds the remote while watching television (the remote is one of Cooper’s favorite things).
