Billie is a nearly 6 months old yellow face dominant pied.
He loves to be out of his cage flying about and likes to sit on my head!
He’s just started talking, saying a few words/phrases like “you’re soo cute” “mummy’s baby budgie” “give me a kiss” “pretty birdy” and gives me kisses
He loves listening to other budgie videos on YouTube…this is where he’s learnt some words and phrases…then he goes crazy when I turn it off or it finishes
His favourite fruits are apple and strawberries and his favourite veg is lettuce,celery,spinach and carrots..he likes his veges more

He loves millet as his treat and will do almost anything for it! When he doesn’t want to go back into his cage I put some millet in his cage then he goes straight in
Billie loves his bell and likes ringing it by swinging on it shaking it so it rings..he also talks to his bell and kisses it saying “kiss kiss kiss” to it

Uh, remember that toy from 3 posts ago? The one I thought would last for more than a week? bbWell, this one* was on a mission to prove me wrong.

*with a little help from Cooper and Ozzie.

bb2She nibbled so much on the blue block that her beak turned blue.

bb3 I couldn’t get a photo of it, but her tongue was blue, too.

bb4She went through 4 of the yucca pieces in 2 days.

bb5Here she is posing with her “kill”.

bb1Here she is in action:

Pardon the poops (some of which, by the way, were blue).

ntjuneIt’s the Side Winder from Jungle Toys. It’s got these big pieces of yucca and wooden blocks. The budgies go through chew toys quickly, but I’m thinking this one will last for more than a week.

nt1Sunny and Cooper love it!

nt3I hope all the chewing takes Cooper’s mind off of her moulting/pin feathers.

nt2Even Ozzie is getting in on the action. Not Dewey, though. He prefers to nibble on Sunny.

Argh.

The budgies are driving me nuts. They started gnawing on my bookcase, so I covered it with a towel to keep it from becoming a chew toy (Harry is going to rig something up later to prevent this from happening).

sunnyBut now they just climb down the towel and hang off the end to chew on the bookcase. Or even worse, the wall paint – which is a big no no!

naughtytrainAll aboard the naughty train!

And I don’t know what it is about the window blinds, but I cannot keep the budgies off of them (Dewey is Sunny’s shadow).

sunnynSunny likes to climb under the towel or blinds so I can’t find her. Here she is in action:

Movie review – Taken 2

This month’s movie is Taken 2.

takenaWhile traveling in Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are kidnapped by the family of the villains he defeated in Taken. Using his “particular set of skills” he must save himself and his family.

takenbCooper’s favorite parts of the movie were the two scenes with the budgies. The budgies are the true heroes of the movie – by following the sound of their chirps, Mills is able to find the building in which his wife is held captive.
