Alfie gets very excited when he sees his yellow clip. It means he’ll be getting a treat. Maybe even lettuce or millet!
He didn’t have to wait long. Yum!
Hey! Where’s the millet?

The Printer and the Parakeet
Cooper was fascinated by her reflection in the printer. She was chasing herself in circles – but I was too late with the camera to catch it.

Sunny and Dewey get their groom on (Sunny gets her turn at the end).
Hanging with Harry
C is for Carrot,
A treat that some budgies enjoy.
Unless you’re a birdie who likes to destroy.
*C is also for confetti.
More fun with paper towels!
The novelty of the paper towel roll has not worn off.
Going,
going,
gone!
Sunny thinks she owns the paper towels and chases the other budgies away. I put her in the cage so that Cooper could have a turn.
She went nuts watching Cooper playing with HER towels, so I had to let her out.
Caught in the Act
This had been happening recently:
One of the budgies was knocking the seed cups down, spilling perfectly good seed on the bottom of the cage. We suspected Dewey. Though mild-mannered, he has been known to knock around the food cup when it has too many pellets (and not enough oats) in it. But to be sure, we set up the CooperCam to see who the culprit was. We later fast forwarded through three hours of footage and saw this:
It was Sunny! This little one definitely has a naughty streak.
Harry got to work and budgie-proofed the seed cups.
Your move, budgies.
Will he or won’t he?

Blue beak
Uh, remember that toy from 3 posts ago? The one I thought would last for more than a week? 
Well, this one* was on a mission to prove me wrong.
*with a little help from Cooper and Ozzie.
She nibbled so much on the blue block that her beak turned blue.
I couldn’t get a photo of it, but her tongue was blue, too.
She went through 4 of the yucca pieces in 2 days.
Here she is posing with her “kill”.
Here she is in action:
Pardon the poops (some of which, by the way, were blue).
