You can't beat me I am a little minx

I am going to bite these pegs and try and find a nesting place in the curtains and no matter what you do you cannot stop me.

So far you have tried the toughest Rubbish bags, Lino, Paper and towels, pathetic!

I am better than a human, I am Queen Budgie Abbie!

New Bowls Please!

We realised that the budgies like to eat out of see-through bowls more than the coloured ones. So we had a brain wave and ordered them some glass ash-trays. We already had one which they used regularly so we got 4 more.

They are quite big and more than one budgie can eat from one at once so five is sufficient.

Plus they are hygienic because they are glass and it's easier to wash than plastic.

They love them!

Everyone can see the food that they are eating which seems to mean less seed waste for them.

Here are some budgies enjoying their new bowls!

Gourmet Treats for my budgies

I try and make the fiends evening meal as interesting looking as possible.

Of course they like to trample through it rather than discuss it's merits but that works for me :)

Naughty budgie photos from the day

Abbie has been driving me bonkers today. She will not stop nibbling on stuff. We thought we had stopped her from nibbling on the top of the curtain by putting some cartons on the pole and blu-taking them to the wall.

This worked for about five minutes so we put bags up there (really tough ones!) she nibbled them.

We put lino on top and even that got nibbled on.

What's next?

Who's up for a second course of party food?

Second course. Millet, Trill and Basil.

Monty decides he should get in first as he's the birthday Boy!

Look at the cake! Not much left and it's all messed up.

Gotta love 'em. If they're happy, I'm happy!

Monty has been with us for two years today!

I made Monty a lovely cake made from Egg, Broccoli and Carrot, with Corn and Dill Trimmings and two stalks of Dill as Candles!

I then brought the cake in and sang the customary Happy Birthday song to the little Tyke while he stared at me mystified as to what I was doing.

But as soon as the cake was plonked down he made a wish!

Then the hoards of adoring guests arrived to greet Monty and wish him happy birthday - he is a King after all.

T'was just before bedtime

..and the fiends were chilling out, waiting to be lifted to their cages.

Fly my pretty!

Got a great photo of little Lilek flying towards me yesterday.

It makes him look a little more chunky than he is cos his wings are behind him and it makes them look short.

Look at the eager expression on his little chops :)
