Night Fright

Last night Silk and Flocon had a night fright, I am not sure what caused it as the cage was covered and there was a night light , which I placed so that there would not be any shadows.

I am starting to think that perhaps Silk sleeps so soundly that he scares himself by leaning slowwwly on a toy.

After calming both Silk and Flocon down, I checked them both and silk was bleeding a little bit where his new blood feather grows, within a minute the bleeding stopped but I won't take a chance and take him to the vet tonight, it looks like the feather has a small puncture but I don't want to remove the whole blood feather without consulting with my vet.

I checked him again this morning and he cleaned himself pretty good with no bleeding, he was playing with his favorite toy and signing happily to me so that is good.

This is the 2nd night fright he had since I got him in March, if he has a few more episodes of that I may have to let him sleep in a smaller cage

bird update

Last week was quite a hectic week with my brother giving birth to his first child. He is so cute.

Unfortunately between hospital visits, and personal doctor appointments, my poor babies did not get as much time out as usual.

This week all is back to normal and boy are they happy.

Sunshine has been signing so much lately and learning new things to sing. I love that Dusty is now tryign to catch up to him. I should take a video one day, It looks like a showdown of who sings better between Dusty and Sunshine.

Flocon has now completely stopped running around in his cage while trying to get him out, he now hurries over to the door to jump on my finger to come out and play. Silk has been getting quite moody though, he only wants his daily scritches and other then that leave him alone. Ok he does have a heart , if one of the birds flies off he will alert me but other then that he stay's quiet playing with his toys alone.

As for scooter, well lets just say he has been "my little green monster" this week. He continuously flies to scare the cockatiels and then goes and langs on mommies shoulder to goat.... at least he does not bite any of them which is good.

Day off

Today I had the day off so I cleaned the bird cages and had fun playing with them all :)

Here sunshine is telling me " Quit pointing that thing at me will you?"





And this is Silks favorite spot, its also where he sits and screams at me if one of the flock flies to the floor.











I find this picture of Flocon cute, he is just basically looking at the camera as if saying "Here I am" "Ain't I a pretty bird.








And Dusty finally took a break from flying around. He loves to fly and do accrobatics in the air, including flying towards you and stopping dead in front of your face then taking off again. Its amazing how they can stop in mid air.

This is a blurry picture but I had to put it in there. Scooter decided to fly where the flock was, thats him, the small blurr of blue and green. Of course by doing that he caused all 4 of the cockatiel to fly around.

They are so much fun.

Sunshine's Talent

While I was relaxing watching tv, sunshine decided that it was snuggle time. He got a good 5 minutes of head scratches, kisses, snuggles.

He then proceeded to show me how happy he was by singning and saying "Pretty bird" to his foot... Yep he litterally lifts up one of his foot, curls it like it was a microphone near his beak and sings to it.

It is the cutest picture ever to see. Now if only I can take a picture while he is doing it...
