Phineas came into our home on this day in 2012. What an amazing character he was!
Here is a video of him regurgitating to my finger (a regular occurrence!):
Missing you, my little man.
Always in our thoughts.

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.
The day had to come. It could not be avoided. My trusty & loyal handheld vacuum cleaner stopped working.
For those in bird-keeping circles, you will know the importance of having a handy & quick way of hoovering up seed, husks, feathers, poop & dander! Not to mention remains of chewing sessions on various materials.
So, bye-bye to my dustbuster that I purchased in 2011. It had faithfully cleaned up after all birds on this blog: Atilla, Raspy, Cagney, Bezukhov, Phineas, Thomas, Dalai, Perry, Lennie & Moriarty.
It has already been replaced by a newer model that I hope will also give many years of service.

The incomparable Phineas came into our home on this day, 8 years ago.
Here is a video of him telling everyone something important. If you are wondering, it is oral antibiotics on his cheek feathers (clearly I was not administering efficiently!)

Today is ‘Love Your Pet Day’. Of course every day is ‘Love Your Pet Day’.
My three feathery companions are all well. They are moulting again (how is that possible?!) Dalai has been extra grumpy because of that. Perry is in good spirits despite his ever-growing lump. Lennie is coping with his difficulty in flying by eating, but he has not thought that strategy through!
There is no discrimination on “Love Your Pet Day” as I also think of those long gone: our dear Raspy, her sister Atilla, handsome Thomas, incorrigible Phineas, cheeky Cagney & lastly, dear Bezukhov. Today has been so rainy & Bezukhov loved to watch the rain…
I am very proud to report that both Perry & Lennie feature on the Christmas banner of a budgerigars forum, alongside our dearly departed Phineas.
The competition was tough so it was an honour to win. Here is the winning entry:
You can see it features 8 festive & feathery reindeers.
From left to right we have Phineas, Perry, Lennie/Rudolph, Bimbo, & feathered fiends’ Monty, Roswell, JoJo & Snowy.
The banner can be seen in situ here: http://budgerigarsforum.proboards.com/ over the Christmas period. Do take a look & have a browse around the friendly & informative forum. 🙂
