Alfie turned one (ish) today!
Alfie’s presents were a rainbow footie toy and a toy with lots of bells (Alfie loves his bells).
The budgies celebrated with millet and Alfie’s favorite treat – romaine lettuce!
Happy Birthday Alfie!

Emmy meets the flock
Even though Emmy isn’t finger tame (or even close to being so), we put her cage in the same room with the rest of the flock. We thought maybe Emmy’s presence would be a bit of a distraction for the budgies.
Cooper didn’t seem too curious about the new girl.
Alfie showed some initial interest, so I put him in the cage with her. But he just wanted to play with her toy.
I took all the budgies out to visit.
They promptly fell asleep.
Poor Emmy – she so wants to be with them, and goes nuts climbing all over the cage to get to them. But the budgies just don’t seem to be interested. Maybe it’s because she’s so young.
Thank goodness for Ozzie. He’s our little welcome wagon. He’ll fly over and visit occasionally with her. What a little sweetie.

More Presents!
The budgies got some fun toys for Christmas. Sorry about the poor quality of the photos. The budgies were in constant action and I took them in the evening (I don’t like to use the flash).
Here is Ozzie (who is moulting – again) next to the “starburst”. This toy was a definite hit.
Dewey seeing what all the fuss is about.
Cooper hard at work untying the knots.
No one would go near this toy – but I’m sure once they figure out it won’t eat them, it will provide lots of fun.
Sunny claiming the “marshmallows”. When she’s busy elsewhere, the other budgies sneak in a nibble.
There was feasting on millet and lettuce as well.
I had a gift to open, too! These little budgie salt and pepper shakers were from my friend, Craig. They’re so darn cute (almost as cute as the real thing) – thank you Craig!
The Day After
Leftovers.
And napping.
Turkey Day*
Today is also the second anniversary of Cooper’s Corner – so the budgies had two reasons to celebrate.
Dewey started with an appetizer of oats (his favorite). Yum!
First course was a salad.
The main course was Momma Bird’s Caribbean Loaf Birdie Bread (with a side of grated carrot). Ozzie digs in.
Alfie LOVED the bread.
He went back for a second helping.
And a third helping. He needs to work on his table manners, though. We don’t get in our food to eat it, Alfie.
Please pass the millet!
The budgies had fresh Granny Smith apple slices for dessert.
Happy Thanksgiving!
*Cooper wanted it to be called “Budgie Day” until she found out what happens to the turkeys.
Cooper’s Monthly Meme – November
Dirds! Birds with dog heads and dogs with bird heads.
Candids
Cooper found the perfect place for a nap.
Lookin’ good, Dewey!
Ozzie making sure every feather is picture perfect.
Sunny is wet. And fierce!
Alfie – my little fluffbutt.
Bellboy
Here’s a video Harry took of Alfie showing the bells who’s boss.
Alfie’s first bath
Alfie has been spritzed with the spray bottle, but he took his first official bath the other day.
Not so sure about this…
His buddy Ozzie shows him what to do.
He took to it like a duck to water. Maybe they should change that to a “budgie to water”.
Squeaky clean!
