Seven birds eating breakfast

It's not easy to get breakfast organised when you have seven hungry beaks to feed. Especially when they don't all stay in the same place at the same time, sometimes it's possible to get a good photo though.

Yum yum say the birds.

New member of the flock!

It’s a clay budgie that my mum brought me back from Eastbourne, it’s a third of the size of a real budgie and it’s a female, but my four feisty boys are petrified of it :)

With the absence of my camera (husband is borrowing it) today the photos are going to be a bit cack, sorry!

 

I’m evil evil evil as can be, don’t mess around with me

 

Some lovely vegetables to try and distract the boys from fighting and cussing each other

 

What shall I try first Monty, corn or Mange Tout?

Did you know that they buy the expensive stuff for us, they don’t eat any?

 

 

Hey, that Mange Tout and corn is the same colour as me!

 

 

Basil, you have not defeated the Montyraptor, I’ll be back.

 

Mmmm this Trill is GOOOOOOOOD!

 

 

I might jump in this and roll about in a minute

 

 

Must ask them to get some differently coloured foods

A paddling pool and some mysterious orange stuff

Thankfully today in Budgie land things have been a lot calmer – maybe due to the troops sleeping separately or maybe just cos they were scared of the high winds today.

Budgies seem to have hopefully grasped the concept of “budgie shall not bite budgie”

Who is this little white fella Roswell? – is he eating our millet?

I have my eye on you and yes I did try some of the orange concoction how did you know?

 

I’m hiding tee hee, she doesn’t know I’m here

 

I’m a cute little puffball and I wouldn’t ever hurt any budgie

I found a bargain when I went to do a little shopping, it’s meant to be a “double cat feeding dish” but I thought it would make a great paddling pool for the boys.  So far Monty has ventured in which is a start – the ping pong balls seemed to help :)

In my efforts to vary their diet I made a cauliflower, sweet potato and couscous mash for the birds, they had a slight nibble and will get more tomorrow morning!

There is plenty in the fridge so they’d better like it or it’s on the menu for us this week – sssshhhhh don’t tell the husband!

  

Monty Bin Laden

All these years we have been wondering where Bin Laden is hanging out..

One Roswell and his ball

Mmmmmm, this is good Millet man I feel chilled

Snowy actually stopped and posed for this one for ages, good boy that he is. The way he is holding his feet I am wondering if I should get him a guitar. If anyone knows what chord that is please let me know.

Roswell “Has anyone seen Jerry?”

 

Addicted to Corn

Snowy tells us of his massive maize addiction and how it almost ruined his life.  "In the beginning I was only trying to look a little bit more like Jerry, he's a very pretty yellowface budgie you see"

"It all got a bit out of beak and I couldn't stop myself from chomping on it when I should be doing other things.  My singing, squawking and crochet really suffered"

"I had to take Monty to one side and confide in him, he showed me how to take my mind off the corn by flying over my owner and letting a big Woopsie fall on her head. I'm much better now"
