My beloved boy Robin is 21 years old today! I can hardly believe I've had him since he was 3 months old. He was my first parrot. It's surprising to look back and realize I've had him this long. Time sure flies... many of those years I wish I could get back. Robin is truly a soulmate animal to me, I've never had quite this connection to any other, and out of all my birds I think he is the one who truly loves me lol.

Uh oh, tonight is the party... I'd better be around to chaperone, you never know what will happen at a guy's 21st birthday party lol! :D

Here's the birthday boy! He has a more mature look to him now :)



Mmm... crumbs..crumbs...

Hey Julie, best be careful and keep a close eye on him at his party, after all, he's of 'legal' age now. HAHAHAHAH!!!

Happy birthday Robin! You are all grown up now:) Now now, don't let that little gray trouble maker sneak too much "fermented fruit" into your party;)

Hey Julie, any pictures of Robin as a baby? I'd love to see pics of him then and now:D

Happy Hatchday, Robin!!! At 21 he is the elder statesman of your flock, eh? I hope those young whippersnappers don't have him up too late!

Please give him a few scritches for me!

Robin says "thanks, but I'm a big boy now Wendy, I don't need her to watch too close!"

Fermented fruit ROTFL :18:!! I'll be watching!

I do have Robin's baby pics, but they are in film negatives, from the days before digital haha! I will post them when I find out how to get them on here with my old finch pics too. There is a subtle difference between 'then and now'... He does look like an "older" bird in the head (face and beak).

According to Raven and Griffin, Robin is the "old man across the street" (across the room). They certainly aren't his friends, and I think they even gossip about him behind his back, poor guy. Robin has no bird friends to come to his party LOL!

Thank you Allee! :) Don't worry, I'll be monitoring the beer nuts, and the fermented fruit lol!

I'd love to share pics. I have to take my negatives in somewhere to get them put into digital first.

Robin got a foraging box that I filled with shreddable toys, and the ducks I slit the bottom and stuffed them with safflower seed and Nutriberries.

Party favors for everyone including the budgies of course. These came in a pack of 4 (without the hooks)




Posing for a birthday pic, and trying to look as handsome as possible today :)

Just being cute

Robin's party guests... Roommates Raven the BW Pionus and his little sidekick Griffin the Ruppell's parrot.

Looks like a good time was had by all, Julie! And great party favors! I trust you'll also be showing us the "aftermath" shots as well? There's nothing like the devastation left behind by birds who enjoy their foraging toys!
