Audrey doesn’t get a lot of attention on this blog because he’s not a spaz and most of his contributions to the family involve yelling. But he can become happy if you give him proper inspiration. Audrey likes bottles and he loves Conner. He has a lot of secrets to tell Conner. Conner really likes [...]
Sometimes life is just about finding the next box to chew.
Trevor is such a trouble maker. At night Conner likes to hang out on his stick because it’s close to Audrey. Trevor hangs out on the rope below or stands above Conner on the top of the cage. No matter where he is, he fights with Conner. So I bought another rope perch – this [...]

I’m still trying to find the perfect picture of Conner for my cross-stitch project. You see, the problem is that Conner makes these fantastic expressions. (Conner is on the left) But that’s not a great cross-stitch picture because you can’t see his eyes. I’m seriously considering this one because it shows him smiling, but the [...]
Trevor likes to chew things. He was so interested in chewing the paper of Audrey’s cage that he almost did a split. He’s such a sweet bird, no longer a baby but still cuddly at night. It’s funny how much he dislikes being touched by humans except sometimes before bedtime. You can also persuade him [...]
Audrey has a bookshelf that is all his own. When the other birds fly to it I put them back on their cage. Audrey needs his own space because when he’s on the common cages the other birds chase him around. I did allow Conner in Audrey’s space briefly, though, because they like to get [...]
Last night I had a dream that we had discovered an alien species and were trying to breed the aliens with humans. Trevor was the first successful result of a human-alien hybrid. I blame Battlestar Galactica for this dream. What do you think, is he an alien?
So two nights ago I was taking pictures of the cockatiels for the Listerine post. And it’s pretty hard to get the perfect picture because Trevor makes the other cockatiels run out of the way when he comes barreling through. Although in this picture, he’s hiding behind the Listerine bottle and making the most adorable [...]

I get a lot of visitors to this website who are searching for different types of birds. You can see in the list below that someone arrived by searching for types of sparrows. And yet again, someone was probably disappointed when they were searching for a Tyson vending machine and came upon my ridiculous post [...]

I finished a cross-stitch pattern for Audrey. I framed the picture but it’s hanging at work right now and I haven’t remembered to bring the camera to work. Once I do I can post pictures. It looks pretty great. In the meantime I’ve been taking pictures of Conner in preparation for his cross-stitch pattern. Can [...]
