Little Lemon head (that’s what we’re calling her until we pick a name) is settling in. She’s been chirping, checking out her toys and eating her seed (she didn’t touch her lettuce). She’s still wary, though, and flaps around the cage when I put my hand in. Guess it’s time to break out the millet!
Meet the newest member of our flock!
She is a “re-homed” budgie. She looks a little scraggly because she’s moulting. She’s not tame at all, so while she’s in quarantine we’ll have to work on that. And she’ll need a name, too!
Check out this absolutely amazing budgie cake!
This is just one of the incredible cakes made by Cakes by Beth:

The cake was modeled after her very own (and very dapper and distinguished) budgie, Nathan!
Here is Nathan just after his bath.
And here is Nathan in all his pin-feathered glory.
A couple of bird catalogs arrived in the mail. So many toys! Cooper and Dewey are already making up a wishlist..
Look what came in the mail…
This cute little budgie pin!
Harry and I often wonder what Cooper dreams about…
Fritz Zuber-Buhler – A Young Beauty with a Parakeet
It should be A Young Beauty with a Human.
This month’s movie is Mr. Popper’s Penguins
Mr. Popper’s Penguins is about a workaholic in New York City who inherits a penguin (he acquires even more penguins when trying to return the first one). While the penguins interfere with his job, they bring him closer to his estranged family.
Cooper’s favorite parts of the movie were when the penguins slide down the aisle of the Guggenheim museum and when Captain (a penguin) flies with the help of a kite. She also liked that the boy Mr. Popper’s daughter has a crush on was named “Cooper” (even though Cooper is a girl’s/budgie’s name).
Dewey’s favorite parts of the movie were when the penguins pooped.
Ozzie thought Mr. Popper’s Parakeets would have made a better movie.
