Alfie joins the flock

aAlfie has finally joined the flock!

acHe met Cooper first – she flew into the room he was in when I left the door open. Oops.

allcageWe moved Alfie’s cage next to the budgies’ cage. Cooper made herself right at home (someone has to destroy Alfie’s toys)! Alfie hasn’t moved into the big cage, but gets outside time with the flock. They’re still establishing a pecking order and we’re not comfortable with leaving them alone yet.

allcage2Here they all are on the big cage (which does not seem so big anymore…).

allgymHanging out on the play gym. I’ll have to work on getting a better photo of them together. They’re not very good at staying still.

asAlfie is fascinated with Sunny. Watch out Dewey!

aoAlfie and Ozzie have become buddies. They like to chase Dewey away from Sunny. Double trouble!

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.
