Alfie gets very excited when he sees his yellow clip. It means he’ll be getting a treat. Maybe even lettuce or millet!
He didn’t have to wait long. Yum!
Hey! Where’s the millet?

Alfie is moulting
Just a few of the feathers he lost. It looks like he exploded!
Now it’s pinnie time. I wish he’d let me help him with those (he wants his bell to scritch him, but it’s not cooperating).
Buccaneer Budgies
Shiver me timbers!
It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day!
A bird and his bell
Alfie’s favorite toy is his bell. He loves ringing it and chattering to it.
So adorable.
Sometimes he’ll croon quietly and bow his head down to the bell. I think he’s asking it for scritches (he’s moulting at present).
Little nut.

The Case of the Missing Tail Feathers
One of the budgies lost its tail feathers? But which one?
Cooper P.I. is on the case!
First she examined the evidence.
Then she made a list of the usual suspects.
A visit to the scene of the crime was in order.
After a little surveillance, Cooper determined that Dewey was not the guilty party.
Ozzie is impeding the investigation. Highly suspicious!
But it looks like he’s in the clear.
Sunny appears to be innocent.
As well as Alfie (who was not even in the room at the time).
After all that sleuthing Cooper is stumped. Who on earth could those feathers belong to?
Guess this mystery might go unsolved…
If anyone out there has any information or tips relating to this mystery, please contact Cooper P.I. in the comments section.
A is for Apple
Alfie enjoys his apple.
And nibbles on a kiwi. Tomorrow we’ll try a mango!
Pepper or Poop?
Have you ever noticed that cracked pepper and budgie droppings look similar? I have.
Can you tell which is the poop and which is the pepper in the photo below?
*Thanks to Alfie for supplying the droppings!
Poop: #2 (of course), #4, #5 and #8. Pepper: #1, #3, #6 and #7
Alfie Update
“Let me out! I wanna be with you guys!”
Alfie is doing well. He’s still in quarantine. We visit him during the day and bring his cage out to the living room to watch tv with us at night. He tries to get as close to us as he can. If one of us leaves the room, he’ll flutter around his cage as if he wants to go with us.
A little quirk of Alfie’s is that he will take one seed at a time out of his food dish and then hop to his perch to eat it.
Last night he sat on my finger. Yay! I can’t wait for him to meet the rest of the flock : ).
The Invisible Budgie!
Now you see him…
Now you don’t!
