Ozzie’s first bath!

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Michelle M.

Ozzie recently took his first bath. He loved it! The budgies are pretty good at taking turns (well, they do squabble a bit). But the tub is tiny – a bigger one is definitely in order.

All clean!

New Toy – March

It’s the Vine Ball Arch from Super Bird Creations.

Ozzie doing his part. Something tells me this toy will not last long…

Ozzie’s toys

Posted on March 16, 2013 by Michelle M.

Ozzie’s presents – The Stargazer (his favorite toy) and a bell ball.

He also got to feast on millet and Romaine lettuce (organic). Ozzie is crazy about Romaine lettuce. He’ll eat all of his share and if Cooper or Dewey have any left, he’ll eat that, too.

Birthday Budgie

Today Ozzie turns one(ish)!

Happy birthday Ozzie!

(Ozzie is going through a moult and is a little scraggly at the moment)

In ounces, they are: Cooper – 1.4 oz., Dewey – 1.2 oz and Ozzie 1.1 oz.

A Trip to the Vet

Posted on March 3, 2013 by Michelle M.

Yesterday Cooper, Dewey and Ozzie went to the Vet! Dewey went to have his leg band closed up (it was open and catching on toys) and his Fu Manchu nails trimmed. Because Ozzie was a rescue bird from the animal shelter, he was eligible for a free exam. Cooper just went along for the ride.

Here they are in their travel cage in the waiting room.

Cooper decided to take a bath in the water dish. What a nut.

In the examination room. The little basket Ozzie is in is the scale. The budgies looked so tiny when the doctor examined them. He even listened to their hearts with a stethoscope – it was too cute.

Here is Dewey looking very dapper with his closed band and trimmed nails. The budgies were very brave and did a great job – so they were all rewarded with millet when they got home (Sunny, too!).

Cooper’s Bloopers – February

We don’t always get the budgies’ photo right on the first shot*. Here are some pics that didn’t make the cut.

* Due to the photographer and through no fault of the models, of course.

It’s Presidents’ Day

Do you know which budgie is which?

Three’s Company(?)

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Michelle M.

So we let Cooper, Dewey and Ozzie out of their cages.

And that happened.

But then Dewey and Ozzie settled down. Now they’re little buddies and like to be together. Dewey even chases Cooper off when she gets too close to them. I’m not sure if Dewey wants Ozzie all to himself or if he doesn’t want Cooper and Ozzie to become little sweethearts.
