A blog about my beautiful budgies.
Sometime ago, in 2015, I got a photo book printed with photos of my dearly departed girls, Atilla & Raspy (click here to see that post). At the time I had plans to do one for Thomas but as time went on, Cagney, Phineas, Bezukhov & Dalai were added to the list.
Finally, I got back to this project & recently got books printed for Thomas, Phineas, Cagney & Bezukhov. Thomas & Phineas share a book. Though they were arch rivals in the flirt-fest for Cagney, they successfully shared a cage & looking back at the photos, it was obvious they were good friends.
Naturally, best mates & brothers from different mothers, Cagney & Bezukhov shared a book also.
Dalai is still on the list – he may well have a book all to himself that I think he would be pleased with.
Thomas came into our home on this day in 2013. He was so handsome & a wonderful boy.
He loved his vegetables & here is a video of him eating celery:
Always in our thoughts.

Poop bundles
Poop bundle
Lennie has been producing bundles of poop.
For about a week his poop would build up & at intervals a little bundle of 3 or 4 would drop. One morning, I noticed that none of his poops had dropped overnight & he had an enormous bundle stuck to his bottom. He was trying to remove it himself but pecking at it & kicking back at it with his foot was not budging it. I decided that an intervention was needed.
I prepared what I thought would be needed, cotton wool, warm water, savlon/vaseline.
Poor darling – I had hoped I would be able to prise it off pretty quickly, but it was stuck fast. It needed quite a bit of soaked cotton wool to soften it enough to release it. It came away in one big bundle. There was one small piece left behind that needed a bit of extra work. It was stuck to a feather & I considered getting the scissors to cut it off but fortunately a bit of extra water managed to set it free.
Lennie was a bit put out by the ordeal & needed some time to recover, but the good news is that since then his poop has been falling free.
Lennie eating dried grass
A surprise parcel arrived last week containing a lovely bunch of fresh, seeded grass.
I wondered how Perry, Lennie & Moriarty would receive the grass – sometimes, after the long, winter gap, they are initially wary but I have been giving them dried grass so they tucked in without any hesitation.
Many thanks to follower rosebudgie who sent the very welcome parcel!
