Cooper’s Crafts
These adorable knitted budgies by Caroline (mini*thread*teds*). You can find her budgies on ebay.
They come in so many colors (and with or without hats)!
Thanks to Ollie for sharing these cute little Santa budgies!
Free Flight
Today we went to the Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary‘s holiday toy drive.

We bought a toy for one of the resident birds (don’t tell Cooper) and became members.
I had a great time drinking hot chocolate and petting the birds. These three were very friendly.

Cooper’s Talent Show
There are so many amazing and talented birds in the world that Cooper decided to showcase one every month.
Here is the amazing Snowball (an Eleonora cockatoo) dancing to some holiday favorites.
Snowball has appeared in television commercials and television snows. This talented bird has been noted as the first (non human) animal proven to be capable of beat induction. You can see more Snowball videos on Youtube.
Cooper’s wish list
These small trinket boxes by Limoges.
So cute. And perfect for hiding away a little millet (when you don’t want to share).

Happy Hanukkah!

Sunny is OBSESSED with the paper towels. She figured out how to go through the “tunnel”. I think she’s trying to turn the tube into a nest and start a little family with Dewey. Here she is in action:
