Cooper’s Cuties
Meet Monkey!
Monkey lives in Ontario, Canada with Dale.
I can speak over 120 words. I like goofing around and being silly with my toys and bells. My favourite fruit is bananas.
I like to hang off my dads hair so I can bite his eyes😏. I like to talk non stop during movies.
Monkey has his own facebook page. You can see more of him here.
Budgies on TV
The Brady Bunch
What Goes Up (Season 2, Episode 11).
After Bobby sprains his ankle by falling off a tree, his parents decide to cheer him up by giving him a parakeet. Because of the fall, Bobby has developed a fear of heights. The family tries to help him over his acrophobia with stilts, a trampoline and even a hiking trip. But nothing works…
Until Tiger (the family dog) chases Peter’s parakeet out the window. Peter overcomes his fear and climbs up on his swing set to get his parakeet out of a tree. Once again, a parakeet saves the day!
Bobby’s bird is never given a name, and this is its only appearance on the series. A shame, as it is clearly the best of the bunch.
Full episode here.

The Perch
The Perch is a parrot cafe in Colorado Springs. At The Perch (a partner of the Metro Denver Parrot Rescue), you can have a cup of coffee and hang out with the rescue birds. The birds are available for adoption, and the cafe is a great way for people to learn about the birds and bond with them. It takes two to four weeks to adopt a parrot, including an online course and a home inspection.

The cafe also sells birds supplies and toys and holds special classes (how to make a seagrass mat for your bird, etc.) and events. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by!
