Cooper’s Day Off

1095 days of Alfie
Three years ago, today, I brought home a cardboard box from the animal shelter. I had no idea what the budgie inside looked like – he was in a back room of the shelter and I took him home sight unseen. Imagine how thrilled I was when I saw this cute little fellow inside.

Alfie is our little clown. He loves food (lettuce is still a favorite) and is usually the last one to finish eating He doesn’t have a girlfriend (I can’t imagine why none of the girls have gone for him), so he makes do with his bell. He likes to run around on the floor (probably looking for stray seeds), but is a very good flier. He is very chatty, and has long, intense conversations with the bird in the mirror, toys or even the wall. I think his favorite thing to do is bathe. This little guy loves a good bath – complete with spritzing. You can always count on Alfie to put a smile on your face. Happy anniversary Alfie – we love you!
Freedom!
Last week Cooper went to the vet. She was limping and pulling up her foot. The vet thinks she pulled something and gave her some pain meds. She’s fine now, thank goodness. While she was there, he took off her leg band. 
While Cooper looks a little naked without her band, it must be nice to have it off.

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.

This is Jeopardy! (part 3)
Cooper is ready for some more Jeopardy!
Cooper will start off with “Our Feathered Friends” for $400.
Hmm. I don’t think that’s quite right… 
Now “Avian Glossary” for $600.
Ooh! It’s the Daily Double!
Cooper would like to make it a True Daily Double.
Woot Woot!
Cooper will take “Watch the Birdie” for $2000.
And now for Final Jeopardy…
Once again, Cooper crushes it. Congratulations Cooper!
(If you read this Cooper’s Corner post, you probably knew the Final Jeopardy answer too!)

Two years ago, we brought home a pale blue budgie (we found him on Craigslist).

Felix is such a handsome boy. He adores Lera and is her little shadow. He still makes time to mate with Cooper, though -he’s definitely a ladies’ man. Felix still nips on occasion, but he’s more accepting of kisses. He loves bath time and the spritzer, and is usually the first one out of the cage when the door opens. He’s a good budgie (aside from the occasional sparring with Ozzie) and we love him. Happy anniversary Felix!
