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.

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.

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!)
Alfie and Cooper after bath-time rubbing session.
Time for some finny fun with the world’s second fiercest creature.
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!
Look what came in the mail!

Cute!

Little Ricky Gets A Dog: Season 6 (episode 14).
Little Ricky has lots of pets. Turtles Tommy and Jimmy, Hopalong the frog, goldfish Mildred and Charles, and the stars of the episode – parakeets Alice and Phil. When Little Ricky brings home a puppy, the Ricardos try to tell him they can’t keep it. But the puppy is just too cute to give up. Unfortunately, little Fred is also too noisy. His barking is disruptive, so he must go. Unable to get rid of the pup, Lucy tries to hide him from landlord Fred and a grouchy new tenant. Hilarity ensues.
Full episode here.
