We don’t always get Cooper’s 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 model, of course.

The Day After
Leftovers.
And napping.
Turkey Day*
Today is also the second anniversary of Cooper’s Corner – so the budgies had two reasons to celebrate.
Dewey started with an appetizer of oats (his favorite). Yum!
First course was a salad.
The main course was Momma Bird’s Caribbean Loaf Birdie Bread (with a side of grated carrot). Ozzie digs in.
Alfie LOVED the bread.
He went back for a second helping.
And a third helping. He needs to work on his table manners, though. We don’t get in our food to eat it, Alfie.
Please pass the millet!
The budgies had fresh Granny Smith apple slices for dessert.
Happy Thanksgiving!
*Cooper wanted it to be called “Budgie Day” until she found out what happens to the turkeys.
Cooper’s Compadres
Meet Gracie!
Gracie (a cockatiel) lives in North Carolina with Susan, budgies Ellie, Tucker and Oscar and newly rescued cockatiel, Jojo.
Gracie’s favorite person is Susan’s husband. If she hears his voice on the cell phone speaker she goes crazy.
Gracie’s favorite toy is anything she can shred.
And her favorite treat is PASTA!
Cooper’s Monthly Meme – November
Dirds! Birds with dog heads and dogs with bird heads.
New Toy – November
It’s the “Corn husk flower” from our local bird store.
Dewey is not too sure about this… Also, look at what Sunny did to that perch!
Cooper is the only one who has made contact. I’m sure the other budgies will warm up to it soon.
Did you know…?
That budgies will decide to moult just when you want to take pics for your holiday cards.
Ozzie says, “Cheese!”
Cooper is not ready for her close up.

Movie Review – Dumb and Dumber
This month’s movie is Dumb and Dumber.
Dumber and Dumber is about two good-hearted, but incredibly stupid friends who drive across country to return a briefcase full of money to its rightful owner.
Cooper did not like that the star of the movie, Harry’s budgie, Petey, met an untimely end at the hands of kidnappers (and was then sold to Billy, the blind boy in #4C).
Despite the budgie violence, Cooper found the movie amusing. She hopes there will be more budgies in the upcoming sequel.
Budgies and Celebrities
The Kennedys and their budgies, Bluebell and Maybell.
Candids
Cooper found the perfect place for a nap.
Lookin’ good, Dewey!
Ozzie making sure every feather is picture perfect.
Sunny is wet. And fierce!
Alfie – my little fluffbutt.
