Free Flight
Last night Harry and I attended the Free Flight Tropical Sunset Fundraiser. Free Flight is an exotic bird sanctuary in Del Mar. You can read more about them on the Free Flight website. We had a lot fun – they had a bar, delicious food, a silent auction and a great band.
A Blue and Gold Macaw greeted the guests.
Harry with a Hyacinth Macaw. She was very sweet. I got to feed her some grapes, a carrot and some banana.
Here I am with an Eclectus parrot (males are green and females are red).
Here is Harry with a cockatoo on a visit we made a week ago.
This parrot let me scritch its pin feathers – much bigger than a budgie’s!
Here’s a little video of some of the birds: a Moluccan Cockatoo, a pair of Mexican Red- headed Amazons and a Gold and Yellow Macaw.
Rockin’ out
My friend Tam shared this today. It was so cute, I had to post it. Thanks Tam!
Hey! Where’s the millet?
Alfie gets very excited when he sees his yellow clip. It means he’ll be getting a treat. Maybe even lettuce or millet!
He didn’t have to wait long. Yum!
The Printer and the Parakeet
Cooper was fascinated by her reflection in the printer. She was chasing herself in circles – but I was too late with the camera to catch it.

Sunny and Dewey get their groom on (Sunny gets her turn at the end).
Hanging with Harry
More fun with paper towels!
The novelty of the paper towel roll has not worn off.
Going,
going,
gone!
Sunny thinks she owns the paper towels and chases the other budgies away. I put her in the cage so that Cooper could have a turn.
She went nuts watching Cooper playing with HER towels, so I had to let her out.
Caught in the Act
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.
