| Yes they had fun today nibbling on their first ever corn on the cob.. lots of battles over it and of course Monty claimed it as his. YUM YUM Look at this, all that is left - not a kernel unnibbled.. |
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
As my previous post said, they have been really naughty and energetic today, Monty has bitten me twice, once this morning and once this afternoon – both times I was trying to get him away from Jerry as he was in “fight mode”. I can guarantee when he is in this mood that he will jump on my hand and savage it if I put it near him – which has it’s advantages as it makes it quite easy to remove him from the other budgies and place him in solitary (one of the cages we have – don’t worry they are both pretty large) for a few minutes while he calms down.
Anyway here are some pics from the day.
Monty and Snowy dancing about on the floor
I gave ‘em millet to try and calm them all down and take their tiny minds off of trying to jump on each other. Yeah I am that mother that bribes their kids with sweeties to shut them up cos they are driving me INSANE!
My budgies: Monty, Snowy, Roswell and Jerry are very successful at what they do, they are budgies all day long and have four very important tips to share with you so that you can be as productive and creative as they are. Follow these and you cannot go far wrong.
Always eat breakfast
As Jerry demonstrates here, if you do not eat a balanced breakfast before you start work for the day, you will be flagging way before mid day and you will probably reach for a sugary snack that will make your blood sugar plummet and you’ll feel even more tired and less productive.
Don’t be frightened to take charge
So you’re worried that people will see you as bossy, Monty doesn’t worry about such things, he just gets on with it and is very decisive.
Remember to look your best at all times
You never know when you could get called into that all-important career breaking meeting, you don’t want snagged tights or scruffy shoes making a dent in your confidence when an opportunity presents itself. Roswell always looks immaculate.
Climb that Success Ladder
From down there it might look high but think how you will feel when you reach the top.
