Tipping over the water dish. What fun!
Here she is in action:
Good thing I have these little clippies. Your move, Emmy.
A new game!

Eat Your Veggies Day!
Here is Emmy enjoying some broccolini.
Yum!
Cooper’s Bloopers
What? No bloopers? Cooper has become such a super little model that we didn’t have any bloopers this month. So instead, here are some pics of the flock opening wide and saying, “Ahhh.” Or, “ACK!”

Trouble
Emmy. She looks so sweet and innocent…
But look what I woke up to the other day. Little one knocked the top of her food dish and then, somehow, made this mess. She did this twice before I learned to take the food dish out at night. Emmers sure is a little spitfire. Good thing she’s so darn cute.
Quarantine is Up! Part Three
Gordie moved into the big cage today.
He seems to be doing pretty well. He’s been keeping to himself, but has been chirping and investigated one of the toys. He sticks to one spot and avoids the other budgies, but I’m hoping they’ll all warm up to each other quickly.
Emmy came out of the cage and bonked into a wall. Eesh. She seems to be doing better flying around, though. It helps to have Ozzie show her how to navigate the room.
Emmy moved to the quarantine cage. Just until I finger tame her. It’s impossible to do in the big cage. Ozzie will visit and sleep there (and show her that stepping up is easy). As soon as Emmy moves back into the big cage, it will be Lera’s turn to meet the budgies. Jeez, we have a lot of budgies!
Quarantine is up! Part Two
Gordie came out of his cage today to meet the budgies face to face.
Here he is with Ozzie (that’s Emmy down below). Ozzie was a little aggressive, so we put him back in the cage.
At first, Gordie just sat in one spot. Here he is with Alfie.
It wasn’t too long before he joined the others. Here he is meeting the girls. He seemed perkier being with the budgies – following them around and chirping.
All the excitement must have tuckered him out. When we put him back in his cage, he went right to sleep. Of course, growing out all those pinnies takes a lot of energy as well!
The Newbies
A little update on how the new budgies are doing.
Emmy loves the new cage. She is all over everything. She’s quite the energetic acrobat. She’s definitely going to keep Ozzie on his toes. Today she came out of the cage and flew around the room. She bonked into a couple walls. Ack! She’s fine, though. Watching a budgie learn to fly for the first time in a room is awful. Emmy still isn’t finger tame. I need to work on that!
Poor Gordie! Look at those pinnies! He’s going through a rather bad moult. Gordie will be out of quarantine soon. I’m glad he’ll be with the other budgies. He just sits in his cage and doesn’t play with his toys. He’s so quiet. I’m hoping he’ll be happy when he’s part of a flock. Gordie is great at sitting on our shoulders, but does not like fingers. But we keep trying – I think he’ll get there eventually.
Little Lera (named after my niece Solera). She’s such a sweetie. Her quarantine will be up soon as well. She lets me pet her tummy, so I think stepping up is right around the corner. Three days after we brought Gordie home I saw an ad for a budgie in Craigslist. She was in our neighborhood, so I couldn’t resist. She’s just started playing with her toys. It seems that it takes the rehomed budgies a month to be comfortable (exploring their cage and playing with their toys).
It will be so nice to have all the budgies in one cage. Probably quieter, too!
Orange!
Emmy decided to wash her face in the grated carrots.
She’s such a little nut, and is always up to something.
Ozzie is going to have his hands full with this one.
We Miss You!
The flock really misses Michelle. She went to AZ to visit family and had a freak accident while ice skating, breaking her leg in multiple spots just above the ankle. The budgies were hoping to see her tonight, but she’ll be out for another couple days. Here’s a video of the main flock because I know she would love to see them.
Movin’ On Up
A while ago something arrived in the mail.
(insert “What’s in the box?” joke here)
It was a brand new cage for the budgies! Harry put it together.
Cooper “coopervised”.
Here’s Cooper deciding if Harry’s work is acceptable.
Once she deemed the cage suitable, the budgies moved in.
Alfie is never far from a bell.
Cooper was not too excited about having her picture taken – she is moulting and doesn’t feel she looks her best. 
Sunny was too busy taking apart the marshmallow toy to pose.
Emmy sitting pretty. The cage has a divider, which is up at present. Until Emmy is finger tamed we have her separated from the others. Ozzie spends his time going back and forth between sides.
Which is easy to do when you have your own airplane!
