Fearless Fiends

The birds have had a pool party today as it’s been ultra-hot in London:

It’s funny how if I put my open hand near them they will all scatter and fly away, but if that open hand has their budgie bath on it they all hop on and dip themselves into the water. 

Roswell is always first, he dips in his wings one at a time and then his face. Monty just jumps straight in and flaps about like he’s swimming! it’s great to watch and you get a bath yourself in the process.  I should stand there in my bathing suit with a rubber ducky in the morning when I let them bathe.

We have also had a lot of Mange Tout and Corn flung at us today – they seem to nibble on it and then carry or nudge it to the end of the top of the cage with their beaks and then either push or fling it off.  They then go to the edge and look over to see where it went.

Silly boys!

It’s such a flipping hot and sunny day today that I decided to go back to the old days and dig out the Polaroid camera, it took me 3 hours to wind it up and get enough charge so I hope you appreciate the photos.

When will they invent digital so I don’t have to do this anymore? – I can only dream.

 

Monty – he did not eat all the pies and will beak anyone that says otherwise.

 

 

 Roswell loves his Broccoli, but when will Jerry get a turn?

 

Ha! says Snowy, it’s all mine!

 

 

Look at this very naughty Jerry, flying to the mirror and biting it.  We have had to cover it with a tea-towel to (hopefully) stop him doing this.

As you can see, the previous attempts to stop him failed, he just casually flew over and grabbed the post-it notes off and threw them onto the floor, clever little vandal!

If he thinks he can get away with being bad because he is such a pretty and colourful budgie then he has another thing coming, but he is beautiful.. :-)

I know he’s just your plain common or garden wild looking budgie but I love his colouring.
