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 :)

Treats and sunshine

It's a lovely sunny day and I thought I would treat the fiends with a big plate of their favourite food - sweetcorn!

I hacked the nibblets off the cob and washed them. Then I smashed up some pine nuts and harrisons bird pellets. Sprinkled this mixture on the corn with some avian seaweed. I can get the fiends to eat nutritious stuff this way that they would ordinarily ignore - sneaky huh!

They love it and have no idea how good for them it is. Poor little fiends :)

I gave them some basil too so don't feel too sorry for them. These birds are treated very well indeed, they eat like kings. Of course Monty is the only true king!

A Birthday Dumpling

It's Dumpling's (Lilek's) birthday today! - he's around 5.

A whole year since he came to us.

He's a totally different bird these days. When he arrived he was quite the anti-social little budgie. Chittering at other budgies that came near. He also regurgitated constantly on his foot, self comforting or obsession perhaps.

Now he plays with his best bud Sky quite a bit and even Roswell and Monty sometimes. We are very happy with the changes in him and he'a a happy little chappy these days too!

Happy Birthday little Dumpling!!

Treats for the Terrors

How about this for a bargain - in our local pet shop we can get seven big sprays of millet for a quid. So this weekend we made a special trip via the Island Hoppa (Which is a free bus service) to the market and also ended up buying some 700g bags of budgie seed and budgie tonic seed, two ping pong balls - one orange and one yellow plus a couple of fruit treat sticks.

These treats will last them a while as I only give them a millet day once a week and the rest of time time it is used as a reward for good behaviour. They are not that well behaved!

These budgies are so spoilt..

Of course we had to reward ourselves with a Chelsea bun each too. Well why not!

Budgies love new stuff

The budgies said an overwhelming thank you to me for getting them new stuff, it arrived today!

Mostly the thank you consisted of biting on their banana treat stick till it was bald and flying away from their new climbing frame :)

We love the new treat stick and natural wood perches

This mirror is brilliant, hang on, wasn’t it here before?

See, we can be civilised
