Busby Lets Himself Out!

October 29th, 2012
Busby Lets Himself Out!

Well after being allowed a lay in as little one slept in I got up feeling good I came downstairs and headed for the kitchen to make a cuppa and was welcomed with a ‘Hello’ coming from the floor!

Now Busby is his own little mind and chooses when he is out only time he is locked in his cage is when it’s bed time so I know he is safe and not being naughty!  How wrong was I!

He manages to get out of the bottom of the cage he slides the grill and tray open bit by bit until it’s big enough for him to slip out of!

Well he had a right fun time and totally enjoyed himself by the looks of it,  he had taken a dislike to our wicker washing basket and thought he would rearrange it!

As you can see he is really pleased with himself,  he then shouted “where’s my dinner” and started chasing my feet around!

Got to love them eh!


Penny Doing Good!

Penny Doing Good!

Looking at Penny this morning her feathers are really good, down her chest, back, head and legs she is looking good!

Now if we could just get her to stop nipping her feathers from her bum and her wings we’ll have cracked it!

I’m not sure that is even manageable to be honest and it really doesn’t matter to me at all, if she wants to nip her feathers then that’s what she will do. We’ve noticed that she has started to play a little bit with her toys, foraging for food etc from an empty egg carton inside a cornflake box, that’s great because hopefully it will distract her a little bit from nipping. Every night around 7.00p.m. she has a good old pull at her wing feathers and screams a bit, that is the time that we cover them up for the night, we’ve tried covering later/earlier it makes no difference, 7.00p.m. her little alarm goes off and she has a quick pull of her wing feathers.

Since moving her to the window, we no longer have feathers that are pulled out so much that they bleed, so that’s good. She continues to dislike me and to love Darryl, so I can respect that.


The Lovely Luckie X

The Lovely Luckie X

Hello all just a update on the progress of luckie.there,s not much to add really as she is so settled and loves all the family.

I have this morning just moved all perches and toys and cleaned them and set up her home diffrent to what it was for a change for her.As i speak she is whipping round the cage having great fun jumping from the perches to her toys.I bought her a large rope which is the shape of a large spring.

Luckie takes great pleasure in sitting on the bottom of it as my daughter gently bounces her,she loves it.She loves a bit of pasta with chili flakes in the evening and also shares my fruit with me in the morning.All & all everything couldnt be better for her.

She is great company and comfort to me in the day,even though she loves to sing and talk when i am trying to watch a film.She also likes to watch eastenders so she can do the programs song when it starts and finishes,its really funny.Take care all.


Archie Has An Aviary

Archie Has An Aviary

I have been busy selling things so I could raise enough cash to buy Archie an aviary. Its only a small one but more than big enough for him. I took ages cleaning apple branches and making ropes to attach all around and the little monkey prefers just to hang on the mesh. He becomes more vocal outside as he is quite a quiet bird really.He is rubbish at stepping up though once he is in and does not want to come in at the end of the day.

His vocabulary remains limited but consistant. He did make me laugh the other day when my boyfriend walked in and Archie said…..’hello fat boy’ hahaha. His absolute favourite is blowing raspberries at everyone and anything people say to him….


Rocky Doing Great!

Rocky Doing Great!

Rocky is doing great, he and my other Amazon are getting on well, and they both now preen each other which is lovely to watch :)

He still hates me, but hates the hubby more so. I will get tickles, and he will step up to me (with a bit of a fight) :P
I think he is beginning to understand that I have no fear, regardless of how much he bites or strikes. It took my other Amazon about 18 months, so I’m not phased at all. It’ll take as long as it takes. He’s pretty good though, and he does make me laugh, especially when he gets all excited and charges at me, then blows me a kiss then says what??!!
Such a cheeky boy!!!

I’m really glad he gets on with my other Amazon, it really does make a difference, they have their moments, but overall they make a lovely couple :)

Oh, and he’s now over 600g in weight :D
The goal now is to try and get him up to 650g :)
