We don’t always get the budgies’ photos right on the first shot*. Here are some pics that didn’t make the cut.
Alfie is about the same size as that apple slice.
Cooper staking her claim.
* Due to the photographer and through no fault of the models, of course.
This had been happening recently:
One 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:
It was Sunny! This little one definitely has a naughty streak.
Harry got to work and budgie-proofed the seed cups.
Your move, budgies.
Zzzzzzzz.
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.
I’ve been noticing the budgies in this stance lately.
Dewey
Sunny
Ozzie
Not sure what this is all about. It’s been warm, so maybe it’s their way of cooling off? Or maybe they’re just trying to look badass…
I love this comic by Alyssa (aka silverfox1989) http://silverfox1989.deviantart.com/gallery/. It reminds me of our little Ozzie, who loves to flirt with Harry’s thumb.
The budgies were all about the paper towels today.
Of course, Cooper was the first to investigate.
A rare picture of Sunny and Cooper together (before Sunny chased her off).
Dewey patiently waited his turn.
Ozzie seeing what all the fuss is about.
I could not keep Sunny away from the towels. She was fascinated by them.
What is down there anyway?
Nibbling on the edge was lots of fun, too.
Silly budgies.
I wonder what Ozzie is dreaming about…
While out and about I saw this mini-grater and thought it would be perfect for the budgies.
For their food! Not to use on the budgies! Sheesh.
I grated up some carrot, broccoli and apple (organic, of course)*. Clean up was a breeze!
*I may have added some millet to entice them…
And the budgies enjoyed their feast. Yay!
