The Booper is going through a rough moult. Here she is doing an impression of a much loved/ well worn teddy bear.

Poor baby.
The Perch
The Perch is a parrot cafe in Colorado Springs. At The Perch (a partner of the Metro Denver Parrot Rescue), you can have a cup of coffee and hang out with the rescue birds. The birds are available for adoption, and the cafe is a great way for people to learn about the birds and bond with them. It takes two to four weeks to adopt a parrot, including an online course and a home inspection.

The cafe also sells birds supplies and toys and holds special classes (how to make a seagrass mat for your bird, etc.) and events. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by!

Cooper’s Day Off
Sido Saturday
What a nut! Sido likes to use my keyboard as her dinner table – and napkin. Here she is eating an almond. Her messy face feathers are from her morning mash (she took a bath after the video).
