It’s Shark Week!
Here is Cooper in 2015.
I’ve had some requests for this on a shirt, so it’s now available at Cooper’s Redbubble store.
*As always, any money we make on Cooper Redbubble items (after Redbubble takes their cut) goes to Cooper’s favorite bird rescues.
Happy 4th of July!
Happy Fourth of July!

Here’s hoping for a brighter future for the United States.

Land of the Free
Cooper honoring the suffragettes who fought so hard to win women the right to vote. The US seems to be heading backwards, but we hope that by voting, we will one day truly be “the land of the free”.
Feathers and Fireworks
Tomorrow is the 4th, and fireworks can be scary for pet birds.
Here are some tips for keeping your feathered friend calm when fireworks are going off.
* If possible, move your bird to a quiet room. Or move the cage away from windows.
* Play quiet, soothing music.
* Keep your bird company and model a calm demeanor to help your bird relax.
* Give your bird treats. Cooper would say, “Preferably millet.”
Cooper and her Flock

We decided to bring Dewey home as a companion for Cooper, and then we adopted Ozzie, and then Sunny, Emmy, Alfie, Gordie, Lera, Felix, Harvey and Riley. If it weren’t for Cooper, we would have never had these sweet, funny, feisty little budgies in our lives.

Heavenly Hatchday
Wishing Coopie a heavenly hatchday.
We were lucky to celebrate 12 hatchdays with Cooper.
Our Emmy.
Baby Emmy, November 2013.
Emmy and her toys.
One of the things I loved about Emmy is that she had dots on one side of her face,
but not the other.
I also loved how she would sometimes nap “butt up” or completely flattened.
Emmy and Ozzie – when Emmy was introduced to the flock, they didn’t want much to do with her. I think her playful, babyish ways were a little too much for them. But Ozzie (our little welcome wagon) would hang out with her. Eventually, they became tweethearts and were a pair until Ozzie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022. Up until the end, she stayed by his side preening and cuddling with him.

Emmy needs a napkin.
Emmy was a messy eater, and often had mash on her face after breakfast.
Being naughty.

Emmy, thank you for all the joy you brought us. We love you.
