Awesome drawing and looks like a nice haul! I really love buying stuff for my pets. Often times more than I enjoy buying myself things. Bird toys are especially addicting to buy :)

Ona gets upset when we leave the house for a few hours too :( BUT her way of dealing with it is to give us an angry puff and sharp pinch when we get her out the cage ๐Ÿคฃ THEN she wants to cuddle.

Tom looks like quite the cuddler. Give him some cuddles from me and Ona!

Oh I definitely enjoy buying for them more! I feel like buying for me is a chore ๐Ÿ˜…

Sometimes Tom gives me the cold shoulder when I leave for a while.
He likes to cuddle for a few minutes before bed, itโ€™s the cutest thing but I canโ€™t take a pic because he lays down on his belly across both hands! ๐Ÿ˜†

Oh my gosh the Budgieceratops :ROFLMAO: Youโ€™re right; I canโ€™t unsee it. Love it!

Do you have an indoor aviary set up around all your cages? It looks pretty cool!

All your birbs look happy and beautiful as always. I love the puffy blink and the fluffy cuddle pictures. Is there anything cuter than a birb puff?! I think not.

Currently, the blue ceiling is actually a temporary 8x13 tent. This has been a 10 month solution while our house is being built ๐Ÿ˜…
Not very nice looking but it works for now!

Thank you so much! Youโ€™re right! The cutest thing is a fluffy birb ๐Ÿ˜

So cute! Do you have any advice on picking up the wings? I've been working on this with Ona as well. If I offer her a handful of treats she will let me slowly do one side. The other she makes a grumpy squeal and doesn't like.

I started with touching his wings closed, probably for a month, then touching the edge of his wings and more and more until heโ€™s now okay with it. I tried incorporating it into his training sessions but I found more success with no treats.
