Shenanigans

Cooper is definitely our most adventurous budgie. She is extremely curious and into everything. Yesterday she was up to all kinds of mischief.

window1She likes to hang out on the windowsill, which is fine.

No matter how many times I would take her away, she would fly right back. Cooper is very determined. Looks like Harry will have to nail down some wood on those sills.

perchShe also decided the best place to nibble the calcium perch was at the base. She kept going until this happened. Luckily, this is an easy fix.

Meet Indi!

indi1Indi lives in Australia with Lyn.

indi7This handsome little fellow loves attention and will nip at Lyn’s mum’s hand if she is doing something other than giving Indi the attention he deserves. Indi helps with the washing and with bookwork and has learned to say, ” You’re going back to your cage”.

indi9Indi’s favorite foods are carrots, corn, snow peas, broccoli and silverbeet. He loves veggies more than fruit.

indi4Indi loves his oval shaped bell and rope swing, but his favorite toy is the plastic “flower” pictured above.

New Toy – April

ntThis is a toy I put together. I bought the vine balls (a budgie favorite) at the bird store – the rest is recycled parts from previous toys. The toy was a big hit. There was even some squabbling over who got to play with it first.
