Quite a bit has happened these past months. Whisper had a HUGE night terror flight about her cage and ended up hurting her wing and made it bleed. When we brought her to the vet, he said it was a knock, would be fine and to watch her. Fast forward, she is doing way better, eating and drinking just fine and takes short flights around the room. We have come to the conclusion that Bubbles is in fact a player. Some nights he sleeps in Pepper's cage, and on other nights he spends them with Whisper. I don't see him settling down, but I am going to try to make a point to find a woman that can tame him one day. Till then, tonight he is snuggled up cozy to Pepper. Pepper is a tailless cockatiel right now. She is so daring and clumsy, she has bent all of her feathers now. Luckily she is starting to go into a heavy molt and I recently found two tail feathers at the bottom of her cage. Hears to seeing a fully feathered bird soon again! Bubbles was blinking and fluffed up because he was outside of his comfort zone with me so close. He still hasn't been able to land on me yet, but he frequently swishes right by my head when Pepper is on my shoulder-he wants so badly to be by her but is too scared. Pepper is oh so adorable and loves pictures. Here she is stretching. Everytime I wold whistle, she likes to stretch hehe.

Sooooo cute! Very happy to hear an update on everybody, and to learn that Whisper is recovering. Poor baby girl. They're all so beautiful, but don't tell the little playa I said so. He already thinks he's God's gift.

That's hilarious Pammy! I'm sure one day the girls will wise up and shun him. I have a spare cage just waiting for the poor man when no one will take him back.

very nice pictures! Interesting that Bubbles still likes Pepper. Piper really has a crush on Emma. I find his courting of her very entertaining. They mix it up in their cages, too. Mostly, they all sleep in the big cage. I think Bubbles is an exceptionally pretty budgie. Does Pepper reciprocate any affection? Sometimes Emma gets Piper to preen her, which makes me Very Jealous.

That sounds so cute that he preens her! In terms of relationship, I think Pepper sees Bubbles as just an acquaintance. I've never seen them preen each other and if I'm on the room, Pepper only has eyes for me which I don't mind at all. Bubbles will get his preening from Whisper in the other cage and then come back out when he's done. Sometimes Bubbles doesn't even want Whisper near him so it's kind of funny trying to figure out their relationships.

I find the dynamics of everyone's flocks so interesting! Both of my boy budgies will fly or climb up to the top of their cage, where Mistletoe's cage is, and they will invite themselves in for a while, or hang out with Mistletoe on the small ledge that is leftover on the top of their cage, kind of like a skinny front patio to Mistletoe's cage. The three boys seem comfortable with one another's company, but there is no touching yet. Mistletoe only currently likes humans to touch him (a refreshing change around here!). Anytime I approach the cage, Mistletoe immediately bows his little head, his signal that he wants me to scratch the back of his head. When Mistletoe goes into the budgie cage, it's the girls who approach him. They like to sit on the same perch he's sitting on. He moves, they move. Sometimes it's only one girl, sometimes it's both girls. No touching, though. I would so love to know what each of them is thinking. And a HUGE thank you to our Miss Emily for making my beautiful new updated signature! I love it!!!!

wooho very nice sig. that is very interesting pammy. sonny tries to "mack" (what i call head bob to them) on everyone, doesnt matter who lol. tweets tries with all the ladys or if none take it then to himself or the cage. I have noticed that Dakota wants nothing to do with him lol. Teeki is sorta giving in but still wants nothing to do with him.
