The 2012 Olympic mascots are Wenlock and Mandeville. I’m not sure what these things are supposed to be exactly. Were they going for weird and wacky? Or bizarre and creepy?
They should have gone for cute and adorable.

A fresh look…

Looks like they approve!

Cooper’s Compadres
Meet Roscoe!
Roscoe lives in New York with Mikey and Ty. Here he is simultaneously doing his two favorite things: sleeping and protecting his toy from the Daddies that would steal it.
Roscoe loves the Dowager Countess of Grantham…almost as much as he loves his Daddies.
A budgie’s tail – part two
Dewey’s turn – the little guy has lost his tail feathers!
New toy – July
This weekend we took Cooper and Dewey to the bird store to have their nails clipped.
Here they are in the car.
They were very brave, so a new toy was well deserved. This toy is called the “Vine Ring Tweeter Totter.”
Here’s Cooper checking it out.
And Dewey giving it the nibble test.
24 hours later…
Cooper (with a little help from Dewey) has made a lot of progress on the marshmallows.
Cooper’s Favorite Things
Maria von Trapp and Oprah Winfrey aren’t the only ones who have favorite things.
Cooper loves her bird kabob. We call them her “Marshmallows”. They’re fun to shred and make such a wonderful mess!
Project Runway
Last night, Project Runway began its 10th season. On the 9th season of Project Runway, one of the challenges was to design a look inspired by either a parrot, a cockatoo, an owl or a raven.
Cooper was miffed that one of the birds chosen to inspire the designers was not a budgie. So I gave Supermodel Malaria a call and got to work.
Now Cooper wants a whole budgie collection. Sigh.
