Spots

I love those orange feathers on his head. They are actually referred to, in this household anyways, as "Joey feathers". I know...not the most original!

What are you doing down there?

Asked Zuri..

And, no doubt, he then wanted the camera.

Lately, I found that my reserve of homemade toys was "dangerously" low, so I made a few more. However, I'm just about to run out of cut pine, which means I'll have to cut more. If you consider that I had cut the previous batch in November, I guess it lasted quite some time!

I'm also really liking the "all natural" look more and more!

What?

All she wanted to do was play, all I wanted to do is take pictures. But to her, those two things didn't go together that evening...

Ring the bell!

Pretty Pixel

Seems like there haven't been many pictures of her on the blog lately, so here are a few of her sitting all poised and calm.

Got some mail!

I was in need of more pellets so I recently placed an order with Danita at Things for Wings for a large bag (10lbs) of TOPs and since I was going to pay for shipping, I thought I might as well maximize shipping costs and add a few toys to the order. The fact that I *thought* (what I think and what reality is could very well be two very different things here) that I was running low on toys was another push to add a few to the order.

Since Léa recently destroyed her last "Léa's toy", and that she seems to love it a lot, I got her a brand new one.

I also recently provided Joey and Shade with a toy form the Daffodil collection. While Shade is still working at hers, Joey destroyed his in a matter of days, and given how much he seemed to like it, I got him a new one.

For Shade, Pixel and Zuri, I got some "Baskets of cherries". The combination of items easily shredded, pine, balsa and yucca will entice Pixel and Zuri, who are a bit more picky on toys, and I doubt it'll last long within Shade's cage.

These two items came as "freebies" and were used to keep large plastic bags in which the toys came closed. I like that Danita used items I can then reuse in homemade toys or simply just give to the birds to chew on.

And not to worry - I didn't forget to order toys for Petey and Piper. Given these two are pretty easy going on their toys, I still have a large stash dedicated to them, and since I was trying to keep my order on the "reasonable" side, I figured I'd get them something next time (and I'm sure the pile of toys waiting to be given to them will still be as big...)
