feathered children

Pictured at left is Tori and Sophie.

I love my feathered children. Right now the Budgies are sitting together watching me type and the Lovebird is sitting on the top of the cage preening. There is such a calmness about them . Sophie the hen budgie is tolerating Ollie (the cock budgie) nicely lately. Sometimes she can't stand when Ollie is near her. It's interesting. Tori the Lovebird regurgitates and feeds Sophie the Budgie....Ollie the Budgie regurgitates and feeds Tori the Lovebird (male). No one feeds Ollie (well ofcourse except me with seeds.) Ollie is a bird that loves to sing and is a very sweet bird...totally close to Tori and follows him whereever they fly. Sophie gets nervous whenever Tori is near her (except when Tori wants to feed her) because she cannot fly (she is what is known as a Runner) and when Tori comes very aggressively at her she sometimes falls off the cage onto the floor! Tori tells me when it is time to go to bed by banging toys in his cage, flying inches from my face and sometimes landing on me when I am in my bed. Tori also tells me when he needs a bath by trying to bathe in Sophies water dish. I then bring out a larger water dish for Tori to bathe in. Sophie hangs near the bathing Tori and gets sprayed as Tori shakes and wiggles. Ollie never bathes. Ollie seems clean..but I don't understand why he never wants to bathe. Anyway..they are my little loves. Tori the Lovebird is turning 9 in July , Ollie the cock budgie is turning 7 and Sophie the hen budgie is turning 4. Just thought I'd share.
