Cooper wouldn’t let something like being stuck in a tub keep her from casting her ballot.
Election Day!

Shake your tail feathers…
…if you have them.
Little Oz lost both his tail feathers yesterday.
Here he is doing his impression of a lovebird.
Daylight Saving Time Ends!
Time to Fall Back. Cooper hopes you got in an extra hour of sleep!
Cooper’s Day Off
Hanging out in the tub, eating, sleeping, pooping and getting better : ).
Cooper’s Talent Show
This little one gives new meaning to “flipping the bird”.
Points to anyone who can tell me what kind of bird this is.
Update
We ended up taking Cooper to the vet again on Tuesday evening. She had been losing weight and not eating. When we got to the vet she vomited what she did eat. So she was checked in overnight for fluids and feedings. Our vet did a fecal test as well. The next day we found out that Cooper has avian gastric yeast, so she’s on meds for that now. And what a difference they made.
A not very good photo of Cooper being picked up from the vet’s office.
When we got her home, Cooper was full of energy. She even did 3 loop the loops on the little perch Harry made for her. We gave her a bit of food and put her to bed.
Here she is after eating her mash today. She is still in her “tub” where she will be for at least 10 days. She can visit with the budgies for a bit, but only from her tub (she needs to be quarantined). Seeing the budgies eating stimulates her appetite. Here’s a little video of her eating next to them. We’re so happy she’s back with us and are hoping the third time is the charm!
731 Days of Harvey
Two years ago, today, Harvey came to stay.

Today (just starting to moult and down three throat spots)
This was the year Harvey finally stepped up. Patience finally paid off. He still will only step up from one side of the cage and will only go in the cage if your finger is on his right side. So, we still have a bit of work to do. This is also the year that he bonded with Cooper. Harvey loves to sing and chatter at bedtime and is going at it long after the lights are out. I’m looking forward to the day where I’ve won enough trust from him to give him a kiss.
Happy Anniversary Harvey – we love you!
Cooper’s Bloopers
We don’t always get Cooper’s photos 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 model, of course.
The Wing
Cooper wasn’t content with scaring the crap out of us with her health issues. So here she is in her horror film, The Wing.
Today
Today Cooper worked on eating. And keeping it down. And pooping. And sleeping. She’s lost some weight, so we’re working hard on making sure she’s getting enough food in her. Here she is eating some mash and millet. We put her next to the other budgies, because seeing them eat gets her interested in her food. We’re hoping she’ll make some good progress, otherwise, it’s back to the vet!
