41:365 - Tri-swing week ~ Joey
He moved a lot during this photo shoot - the swing was far more interesting than posing! You can see how excited he is!

Week-end toy haul (Les Jouets Rosie)
What do you get when you combine a 25% off aluminum travel cages sale and a Significant Other who wants to give his car a nice long ride on the highway?
Well, in our case, this resulted in a road trip to go to the storefront for "Les Jouets Rosie", which happens to be a few hours away (but quite manageable to go to and come back within a day).
It was my first time visiting Jacqueline's store and I was quite impressed and spent a considerable amount of time walking around the place; it was actually quite nice to be in a pet related store solely dedicated to bird supplies!
Only once there did I realize it would have been nice to bring a camera to take pictures; however, I didn't but luckily she has a link on her webpage for anyone who is curious to see what the inside of the store looks like!
For pictures, click here!
As I pointed out above, we went first and foremost to pick up a Kings Cage aluminum travel cage and, since we were there, I took the opportunity to try and put my hand on some original "Rosie creations", which aren't always available on the website!
What I brought back home -
"Georges!" - he is bigger than he appears on the picture!
"Milles-pattes" - a HUGE toy, the first "Rosie" toy I spotted and took it off the hook immediately. It doesn't quite look like the one on the website, however I'm sure Léa will love it and I'm pretty convinced I gave her one when she first came to live with us.
"Robot plein de surprises" - a foraging toy which already includes a few goodies within it.
I'm not exactly sure the one below is on the website (I can't find one that is identical), but it is another foraging toy.
Again, not sure this one is on the website, I think it is a smaller version of "Le Triangulaire" (the use of shaped wood is similar, although there is no base to this toy).
Large Rosie perch - the rope is wrapped in plastic on the picture, something I will keep on it until I'm ready to put it in a cage.
Finally, the medium travel cage. With this addition, my "collection" of aluminum travel cage is almost complete, I will want one more for Piper and then every bird will have one!

...and going down!
Gotta get a hold of this thing...
There we go! Slowly getting there...
Final let go!
Must turn around...
There! Mission completed!

Chew, chew, chew!
The strand needed to be destroyed! I do like how the picture above shows you the change in colour between the feathers on her "cheeks" and the lower grey bib.
She also does this thing a lot where she'll play with something and it'll get really close to her eye - I think I get more freaked out over this than her!
Geronimo!
Two pictures I didn't intend to get - two blurry "take off" pictures. But I find them funny. So up on the blog they go!

She was quite at ease on the swing. And has since destroyed many of those yellow beads!

37:365 - Tri-swing week ~ Shade
She was a little concerned and not entirely thrilled about being on a new swing at first, but after a few minutes, she started chewing away and was quite happy!

"You won't believe what I heard... "
I loved this picture but couldn't come up with an original caption for it. Posted the picture on Avian Avenue and asked people to caption in. There were some good one that came out, but the one I used for the title is what I felt worked best for the picture, out of the captions posted so far.

He looks so tiny on it!
So the item being featured is our Tri-swing from Crystal's Bird Toys. It was tempting to make the theme something like "bird feet" or "close-up", and they'll remain on the list for future themes, but given the last theme week was about a body part, I wanted to change it up for now. And it gave me the occasion to take the swing out of the closet (partially because I didn't know where to hang it for a while, and partially because I wasn't ready to see it be destroyed).
