Budgie Care Package

Look what arrived in the mail!1A package filled with treats and toys for the budgies from my wonderful niece Surena! 3Here is Alfie with the disco bell. Alfie loves his bells! This is a favorite of the boys (who love chatting up their reflections in shiny surfaces).2Here is Lera with the hypno wheel. She was playing with it, but every time she saw the camera, she would turn around and pose.cThe seed sticks were a big hit as were the dried greens. Above – Cooper. Below – Sunny.sThey started squabbling over the sticks, so I put them at the bottom of the cage where they could all snack together.aHere is Alfie again (with the ever present food on his face). Alfie is always first on the scene when food enters the cage.

The budgies loved their gifts! The flock has been a little quiet since Gordie left, so the care package was definitely a welcome surprise. Thank you so much Surena!

XOXO,

the budgies

Keeping Cool

We’ve been having a bit of hot weather in San Diego. To beat the heat the budgies have been playing in the water.

Alfie is always the first to the food. He was more about the lettuce (as you can see from the ever present food on his beak). w2Cooper was the only one who was really into the watermelon. Yum!w1

All Together Now

Emmy and Felix finally moved into the big cage. Felix pals around with Gordie, but is a little standoffish with the others. I think Emmy wanted to be alpha female, but Lera shut that down pretty quickly. Both are doing well and seem to enjoy being with the flock. And I enjoy having only one cage to clean : ).

Cooper’s Bloopers

What? No bloopers? Cooper has become such a super little model that we didn’t have any bloopers this month. So instead, here are some pics of the flock opening wide and saying, “Ahhh.” Or, “ACK!”
