Caught in the Act

This had been happening recently:

spillOne of the budgies was knocking the seed cups down, spilling perfectly good seed on the bottom of the cage. We suspected Dewey. Though mild-mannered, he has been known to knock around the food cup when it has too many pellets (and not enough oats) in it. But to be sure, we set up the CooperCam to see who the culprit was. We later fast forwarded through three hours of footage and saw this:

badbudgieIt was Sunny! This little one definitely has a naughty streak.

harryHarry got to work and budgie-proofed the seed cups.

haYour move, budgies.

The Case of the Missing Tail Feathers

tfOne of the budgies lost its tail feathers? But which one?

tf2Cooper P.I. is on the case!

tf3First she examined the evidence.

tf5Then she made a list of the usual suspects.

t6A visit to the scene of the crime was in order.

tf7After a little surveillance, Cooper determined that Dewey was not the guilty party.

tf11Ozzie is impeding the investigation. Highly suspicious!

tf12But it looks like he’s in the clear.

tf9Sunny appears to be innocent.

tf10As well as Alfie (who was not even in the room at the time).

listAfter all that sleuthing Cooper is stumped. Who on earth could those feathers belong to?

coopGuess this mystery might go unsolved…

A Great Grater

While out and about I saw this mini-grater and thought it would be perfect for the budgies.

graterFor their food! Not to use on the budgies! Sheesh.

sunnyI grated up some carrot, broccoli and apple (organic, of course)*. Clean up was a breeze!

*I may have added some millet to entice them…

coopAnd the budgies enjoyed their feast. Yay!
