Rocky, Ruby, & Lady

Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve updated you all, but my laptop broke so had no way of updating. Thanks to my lovely hubby I now have a new one as of yesterday :)

Rocky -

Rocky is doing brilliantly, he now spends most of his time on the Java Trees, and can now move around each tree confidently.
He is so stunningly beautiful, but has no blue on his head whatsoever. I now call him a green front, as he only has green and yellow feathers on his head lol :P
He likes chewing through cardboard toys, especially the birdie bangles. He demolishes them in minutes :)
He still hates me and the hubby, but will allow me to tickle him, and will step up to me when he wants something :P
Overall he’s a great beautiful boy :)

Ruby -

Ruby is doing great as usual.
She has been coming out with lots of new sounds and whistles lately. I have no idea where she gets them from.
She still loves her music, and is really enjoying all the Christmas songs that are being played on the radio.
She is still a night owl, and tends to be the last one to go to sleep.
She is always the life and sole of the parrot room :)

Lady –
Lady is still the same, munching and shredding her way through her toys.
She is still a jealous little madam, but is so cheeky with it, you can’t help but laugh at her.
The house would be very empty without her, she’s such a big character.

Overall all the birdies are doing great, they certainly keep me on my toes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way :)

Ruby, Lady, & Rocky

Ruby –
RUBY CAN FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
When Ruby arrived, she had plucked her wing so bad that she couldn’t fly, she could only fall with style. Twice in the last 2 weeks she has flown, once from the floor, and then yesterday, from one cage to the other which was a good 8-10 ft. I knew she would do it at some point, as she has always exercised her muscles and wings which has kept her a strong little birdie. She prefers to climb though, but at least she can fly if she wants which is brilliant!! :)

Lady –
Lady is still doing well. She has finally ventured onto the table top stand that I have on a shelf in front of the window which looks in from the kitchen through to the parrot room. She seems quite impressed that she can get right up to the window to see what we’re doing, if I wipe a cloth over the window she chases it and beakbutts the window and generally has a hissy fit because she can’t get it! :)
Next to the stand is a large foraging bucket which has bits and bobs of old toys, foot toys, wicker balls, and large beads etc etc etc, she has been enjoying rummaging through it to chew whatever she can, resulting in a right old mess for me to clean :)

Rocky -
There’s not much to update on Rocky really, he’s still climbing well around the trees, and likes to have a swing on the hanging spiral rope. He is preening my other Amazon more, and pines after her if she flies away from him. He still can’t fly, and if he falls, he falls like a lead balloon, but the fact that he is climbing with more confidence every day hopefully means his muscles are strengthening :)
He’s still a noisy boy, it’s my other Amazon who is the loudest though, but my word when the pair of them get going it’s deafening!!! I wouldn’t have it any other way :D


Cosmo’s Antics

Cosmo's Antics

Been a while since I posted an update on this little guy so apologies for that!

Cosmo is doing fantastic and just seems to be getting cheekier every day.  He is such an active bird and a non-stop talker.  One of his latest tricks is when one of our other birds, Billy starts to count to 5, Cosmo joins in.  So Billy says 1 and Cosmo quickly says 2.

When he plays, well attacks his toys, he says “get it”, attacks it, laughs and then says “you’re bad, move it, you’re a bad boy”.  He is very comical and never fails to make me smile.

So here is a video of Cosmo from just a couple of days ago.  You will also hear Echo and Billy in the background.

Rocky -
Rocky is doing great, he is still eating well and is chewing and playing with his toys. He is still a very noisy boy, and paired with my other Amazon, they scream the street down, but that’s just the way I like it. He’s going through a moult, but is still his usual self. Other than that, there’s really not much to update on him at the moment. :)

Ruby -
Ruby is still her usual chirpy happy self, still whistling away, and is full of beans, she eats like a little piggy, and her feathers on her right wing are so much better and she only has one flight feather missing which is fantastic. I’m so pleased with her. :)

Lady -
Lady is still very demanding, she goes through her toys like a hot knife through butter. She still plucks her cheek and neck feathers, but we’ve come such a long way from where she was when she first arrived over two years ago. I’m very proud of her.

I cannot put into words how much I adore these birds, and they are a massive part of my life and my family. I wouldn’t be without any of them, not for the world :)
