While out and about I saw this mini-grater and thought it would be perfect for the budgies.
For their food! Not to use on the budgies! Sheesh.
I grated up some carrot, broccoli and apple (organic, of course)*. Clean up was a breeze!
*I may have added some millet to entice them…
And the budgies enjoyed their feast. Yay!
He’s my Yankee Dewdle Sweetheart.
Happy 4th of July!
We don’t always get the budgies’ photo right on the first shot*. Here are some pics that didn’t make the cut.
* Due to the photographer and through no fault of the models, of course.
As I was cleaning the budgies’ cage, I turned around and saw this –
I guess they didn’t want to wait for me to put their food dishes back in the cage.
Just some pics of the flock hanging out and being cute.
Hmmm. This looks familiar. In fact, it was only three months (to the day) that he went through his last bad moult. Not much of a break for the poor little guy. Maybe the budgies are trying to synch up their moulting. I’ve got a rather motley crew at the moment.
I bought a play gym the other day for the budgies. I needed something that would fit on the top of the bookshelf and (hopefully) prevent the budgies from chewing it up.
It’s the Bird Activity Center from Penn-Plax. You put it together! Cooper helped me out. You’re supposed to glue the posts in, but we skipped that part. I wouldn’t want the budgies to chew down to the glue and ingest any.
Once our brave budgie Cooper gave it a thorough inspection (and it didn’t eat her), the rest of the flock decided to join her on the gym.
See, nothing to be scared of!
Ozzie looks right at home.
The first thing Sunny did was chew on the edge.
Dewey, sitting pretty.
The budgies enjoy flying back and forth between the gym and their cage. I replaced the green globbie thing with more stuff for the budgies to chew. They weren’t using the swing, so I used the hooks to hang up some toys. And (for now) the budgies aren’t chewing on my bookcase…
but they are going to town on the sides of the gym. Sigh.
Just some random shots of the budgies:
I love Cooper’s stance in this one.
Dewey is the Big Man on Campus.
Ozzie being handsome.
Silly Sunny in her favorite spot – behind the window blinds.
It’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.
Sunny and Cooper love it!
I hope all the chewing takes Cooper’s mind off of her moulting/pin feathers.
Even Ozzie is getting in on the action. Not Dewey, though. He prefers to nibble on Sunny.
