Juliette is home! (Lineolated Parakeet)

Never heard of a glass popper. I"ll have to look into that!

Today Juliette imitated a weather vane for at least two hours. She says there is an East wind. Perhaps she's hoping for a handsome rooster...

I got mine at Wal-Mart. Mine resembles a old time glass coffee pot. It has silicone lid and handle.

She's found a new toy. Unfortunately it's an expensive one. I removed them from my face with her hanging on due to her close proximity to my eyeballs.
Just not the lenses, dear birdie.

I have a broken pair of readers with a leash on them that I give my birds to play with.

I generally wear contacts, but Button loves hanging from my glasses when I wear them! Silly birds.

I took Juliette in for a well bird exam yesterday and it turns out that she has a sinus infection . She has been as cheerful as normal, so hopefully we caught it early. She's sequestered to the bedroom with a humidifier, space heater, and ten days of antibiotics. She's actually been pretty good about swallowing her medicine, as long as you can catch her. She's way too smart to come quietly when she sees the dinner napkin heading her way. I feel so bad that I didn't know my beautiful girlie was sick. She was shaking her head, and I thought it was a feather bothering her. She sneezed, and I thought it was related to preening.
She did such a good job at the vet and didn't even try to bite when she was being examined. Everybody loves her polka dots. We'll be going back for another gram stain in two weeks to make sure everything is cleared up.

Glad you caught it early. Good to hear her behavior is normal.

Oh poor girlie! Hope the antibiotics clear it up quick, and good for you for catching it early!

Juliette finished her ten day course of antibiotics. Each day she got a little more clever about avoiding The Birdrito. By the last day all I had to do was move my hand toward the dinner napkin and she was up on the top of the curtain rod. But once I managed to catch her she was actually very good about taking her medicine. Hopefully she won't need another course. We'll find out at her follow up appointment Thursday. The hardest part is that she's been stuck in the bedroom where I can keep it extra warm and humidified.

Good. For good check.
