Our resident Houdini, thief and burglar

Cecil is amazing. He grew up mistaken for a female and abandoned because he didn't produce eggs. What he does well is Clandestine operations. Perhaps he should've been named James Bond. He doesn't just break out of cages he busts tack welds like they were nothing. He makes his own toys. He breaks into forbidden territory.

Keep your daughter from him. He's a Casanova, too.

Sugar on my shoulder

My mother always stressed that if we spilled salt we had to throw some over our shoulder. Rather than do this, my new method is simply to put sugar on my shoulder. It is somehow much more satisfying.

Cozma at play

Cozma has become much more playful of late. She has overcome that look in her eyes that resembled a doll.

Ah, Peace

With mating season still in full swing peaceful moments like those depicted in this picture are rare. Here is Lauralei taking that rare nap.

Peaches' Diet

Our Peaches, our girl with six fused vertebrae and recently recovered from major surgery, has a wide ranging diet now. Today she ate some of the mash, some banana, and tangerine as well as some of the muffin.

Changing a cockatoo's diet.

When Sugar came to us she was addicted to human food. She liked cookies crackers and chips. I made a mistake of trying to change her diet too quickly. The result was severe emotional stress. Now she is converted to eating our mash but she still likes the occasional snack. One thing I found that she will snack on that is good for her is my muffins. Today's repast is banana nut. As you can see from the picture of wide variety of foods is offered. She also ate some mango.

Coco has a new breakfast food
