It costs 79 a yr to be a prime member and many things get shipped second day with no cost. To me that is a good deal as I use them a lot.

Santa, when you are a prime member, do you have to meet a purchase minimum before they ship free, or can you order just the one $9 item and they ship it free? The $79 would pay for itself very quickly if I didn't have to always come up with a $35 minimum purchase.

Lisa--Maybe you should borrow a cage from the breeder for the first week, so the cockatiels have a chance to meet on neutral ground. I wonder whether just putting Leo into Lucy's cage right away might result in some territoriality.

Pammy--There is supposed to be no minimum on Amazon Prime. However, for some very inexpensive items, they will only allow them if on an order of $25 or more. This does't happen often, but it has happened to me from time to time. I think Amazon is well worth it.

Santa & Diana, thanks for explaining Amazon Prime. I'll give it some thought.

You need to sign up for Amazon Prime with any email account ending in '.edu' I think it reduces the price from 79 to somewhere around 50.

I have been leaving a plate of food on the floor of the cage this week. I put out what was the budgies favorite, sprouted sunflower seeds. I also have been picking the sunflower seeds out of their seed and placing them on the plate of fresh greens. I even added some yummy left overs from what had been one of those hanging honey sticks. Every day when I get home the plate is exactly as I left it. I have stubborn old birds. I am only leaving a tablespoon or two of seeds mixed with shredded veggies in their bowls with pellets always available. Pellets remain untouched. It does appear the shredded veggies are getting consumed. I assume by necessity rather than choice.
