Today I was so happy mommy spent more time than usual at home that I decided to:

1. Sunbath!

Mom says she hasn't seen any other parrot subnathing like I do! But I know it's a common trait in my specie. We enjoy sunbathing so much! (And yes we do look funny while we do).

2. I foraged for food!

Yes, I figured out I don't fear corn anymore...and while the budgies are stubborn and a bit ugly compared to ME (don't tell them I said that) they seem to go nuts about corn. So why not?

OH! I also loved that seed stick mom offered for a while. I decided I love sunflower. Mom says I can have some because it's cold at nights but she says she will weight me. Meh, I don't weight her after she eats a piece of chocolate per day!!

3. I bathed!

Yes! Believe it or not, Im starting to enjoy baths. At first I wasn't too sure if I liked it, and just between us, I'm not an expert yet. I love when mommy helps me out too! Today she insisted on recording me...but she's clumsy and dropped her phone so yeah, I flew away. I enjoyed it nonetheless!


(Yeah she is not the best getting videos on cam, is she?)

4. I preened my pretty feathers!

You know, mom tells me everyday Im gorgeous, it is a lot of responsability to be this cute!

You are very beautiful. You look adorable sun bathing. And your bath video was so cute. With practice both you and your mommy will get better.

Sorry, it didn't load your post.

I'm glad you liked Citrus' post. She insisted on writing it down! Lol.

I actually enjoy a lot when she sunbaths. It's super funny how out of the blue she starts opening her wings and tails feathers, then out of the blue she keeps moving like nothing happened.

Does any of your parrots do this? Or bourkes are weird little things? :hehe:

I've honestly never seen a bird sunbathe like that but I wish they did!! Its so heart melting. I imagine it would feel nice to spread your wings and feel the sun :joyful:

I am biased toward this post for two reasons:

1) I love Bourke's 'keets, as they hold a very special place in my heart. :heart: (And who wouldn't feel happy to witness a Bourke's sunbathing?)

2) The OP was made on my birthday. :D
