We don’t always get the budgies’ photo right on the first shot*. Here are some pics that didn’t make the cut.
* Due to the photographer and through no fault of the models, of course.

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.

As if. A budgie would never do anything shameful!
Cooper’s Compadres
Meet Peaches!
Peaches, a Goffin’s cockatoo, lives in Seattle with Jamie.
He loves to snuggle with his mommy, eat her dinner, and steal toys from the other birds.
His favorite treat is mango sorbet and his favorite toy is his book that he can rip up.
Cooper’s Book Report
This month’s book is The Bird King: An Artist’s Notebook by Shaun Tan.
My sister introduced me to the work of Shaun Tan, an Australian writer and illustrator. He’s even won an Academy Award for the animated version of his book The Lost Thing.
The Bird King is a collection of illustrations, sketches and ideas by the artist. Cooper loved the whimsical and imaginative artwork. Her favorite was the budgie on the cover and the budgie on page 50. This sketch became an illustration in the book Tales From Outer Suburbia.
(Can you spot the budgie?)
Shaun Tan (with Diego and Snowball) is also a budgie owner. His budgie Eddie helped to inspire one of my favorite stories “Eric”.

The cat strikes back:
But the budgie has the last laugh:
Howling at the Supermoon
