Yvons has started greeting me with a 'Hey Boss'. I'm not sure if it's 'Boss' or 'A$$', so I'm treating it as if it were 'Boss'. It's cute because, as soon as I hop around the corner in the morning, he's right there and saying it. He also head bobbed for me today. I immediately danced, and he looked at me as if I had grown an extra head.

Isn't it fun to just be ourselves in front of our birds! We can sing and dance and act silly and they think we're perfectly normal! They can be such wonderful housemates and companions once you get past the noise and the messes. They don't eat too much, never pass judgment, mind their own business, and you don't have to take then for walks in the early morning hours in the dead of winter!

Make yourself a bowl and show Yvons how yummy it is! My budgies' chop is delicious, though for me it could use some seasoning. My husband says our birds eat better than we do! We would probably all be healthier if we started the day with a big bowl of parrot chop. A couple times a week I scramble a plain fresh egg from my friend's chickens, chop it up fine, and sprinkle it on their chop. Lately I've been adding Chia seeds to absorb some excess moisture. I also sprout my budgie seed mix using the Sprout People sprouter and garnish their chop with fresh sprouts.

Maybe he's right, afterall. Our birds DO eat better than we do!

I think it's fun how our feathered kids establish a routine. Especially for mornings and nights. Nameliss says a drawling yes massaa as soon as I get up. She wants the day started and breakfast ASAP. Glad to hear more of Yvonn's personality coming out.

Yvons was feisty today. He was reaching out to try to bite me, but didn't quite get a hold. Little brat. Vortex was in a similar mood and refused to step up for me. Ran faaar away from me. SO much for trying her on the new play stand. HUmph.

And everyone loves almonds—even Redshift, whose beak isn't strong enough to dig into them. Yvons prefers almonds to nutriberries (SHOCK!), and Vortex comes running over to the side of the cage if she sees me with the almond container, LOL!
