More Rain.

I enjoy the rain. but not this much rain. it's cold and my owner has pulled the curtain so the window doesn't let in the cold from the day. She's such a lovely person.

She gave me new millet today and I enjoyed eating that and ringing my bells withthe music on the radio.  Birds sangs while it poured rain outside. 

Sometimes I wish i was a wild bird flying around with the other birds in the trees on nice hot fine days.  But its when it's raining and cold I'm grateful I have a cage of my own and a nice owner who keeps me warm and makes sure I'm okay. She gives me lots of cuddles on these wets days too so she knows I'm warm. I like that.

Well, I think I'll have a sleep for now while the day is dark and my owner is still up on the computer.  I hope she doesn't mind me using the keyboard. Better still, i hope she hasn't noticed some of the letters scratched off.

It's Supposed to be Spring.

I'm confused. 

It's supposed to be Spring and it's getting colder instead of warmer.  My owner has been using my Winter covers almost every night and moved my cage back into the my Winter Position for tha last few days because it's warmer for me.

Last night, we had a lots of wind and rain around the place and my owner kept on checking outside to make sure it was okay. Today, it was sunny but cold. She did the laundry and it's out there drying in the wind while I'm here sitting in the sun.

But the house still feels cold. 

When will it warm up? 

New Things In The House

A few days ago, my owner brought in a really big box through the side door.  It was so big her Mum had to help her with it. They put it on the floor and left it there for a while.  Then, she came downstairs and opened it and began building the things inside it.  The first thing was a really big speaker with a hole in the front; which she put next to me.  Then, she put some others together that stood up on their own.

The sunwas down when she tried it out and she found when she turned on the this new thing, the picture on the television wasn't in colour. Her Dad came to help and they ended up making a phone call and then it was fixed. She showed me the things that stood up on their own and I found I could see the other birdie in them... how cool is that?  Another birdie in the new things in the house.  My owner is very cool.  She told me they are speakers; but I know they are just big mirrors for me to look at.

Owner's Birthday

It's my owner's birthday this week.  And she thinks it's cute to like getting older. Really, I don't like getting older; it means my feathers change, the ones on top of my head that is.  My stripes on my head turn white with each year I get older and she thinks it's cute and has called me her little Bald Eagle.  

I guess I don't mind being called that.

But what does a budgie get their owner who has been caring for them for so long? I'll let you know when the day comes. She will show me her presents I'm sure.

 

Pet Shop Closing.

My owner went shopping today.  Usualy I know this because she gets her bag ready, the camera is checked for batteries and the big blue thing on two wheels comes out and she put in a whole lot of stuff to take with her; like the list, something to post and other things. Then, she closes the back door and is gone for along time... like she is upstairs.  But it's realy quiet.

But when she got home today, she was kinda quiet. She said to me the shop she got me from was closing in a few weeks. that's sad because she got all my food from there. That's probably why my millet ran out.

Oh! the other day, she got her Mum tobuy more millet!  It was from another pet store, but it was so good to see my millet back! My owner will have to get my seed and millet somewhere else I guess. I wonder where?

Sunny Days!

I been outside yesterday!  It was so much fun!  My owner took me outside and she sat with me and read a book while the sun and wind fluffed my feathers.  I loved it!  What a lovely time we had!  

Sometimes we do this when the day is warm enough, and yesterday was.  Then, my owner looked up and saw some dark clouds coming.  It was time to go back inside.  She packed up her book and glasses and then we were back inside. But it was fun!

Wet Cold Day

It's been raining all day.  My owner pulled the covers off me this morning, but has just put them back on in the last few hours.  It got cold and dark; so I've been snoozing all day with the radio going.  It's nice to hear the rain on the roof.

My owner went out this morning to check the mail and came home.  Her shoes leaked, so she had to stuff the toe with newspaper and dry out her socks.  they were wet too.  Well, she might be coming down for something to eat soon and get a cuddle out of me. I hope her hands are warm.

Visitors!

We had visitors last week.  My owner was seen around the house for a reason, she was cleaning up for them to come over.  There was a tall skinny one called Geoff - he comes here a lot and is nice.  I've met his wife. She likes me.  Then there was this other man called stu who sat in my owner's place on the lounge and fiddled with his phone when it buzzed.  But he kept on looking at me.  He told my owner that he hadn't owned a budgie since he was young and thought I was very cute.  Stu just kept staring at me and my owner got me out of the cage and patted me while Stu watched. He thought it was lovely how my owner scratched me around my chin and my put my head back ( I really do like how it feels and she's so gentle about it).

Well, both of them were invited upstairs to look at the book collection, but came down empty-handed. Geoff normally borrows books off my owner once in a while to read. he must have enough books to read.

Today, my owner went shopping. She still came home without millet again.  I miss my millet; I'm wondering what's wrong.  I hope she gets some soon.

Cuddles and Warmer Days

My owner has been seen around the house a lot in the last week or so.  She is cleaning up and putting a lot of things in the big green bin with wheels on it outside.  All the paintings she isn't working on have been put away and the place looks nice and clean.  I liked it the way it I suppose, but it does look nice now too.  

The other day, she went outside for a while and came back all sweaty and dirty.  I don't know what she did out there, but she was smiling.  I think humans are funny when it comes todirt; it must make them happy to be dirty.  I can't stand my feathers being out ofplace or dirty.  When my owner cuddles me, I have to spend some time putting my feathers back into the right places because she has messed them up.

Well, it's time ofr a nap.  I'm going on six next April, I sleep a lot now but enjoy being with my owner at night.

It's Spring.

In the last few nights, it's been warm; so warm that my owner hasn't needed to put the covers on me.  So, when she comes downstairs in the morning, what I've been up to (and getting up to) isn't a big secret anymore.  Bummer... I liked it that way.  She also sprayed me with water!  That's a lot of fun when it's hot enough; and yesterday was.

Today, before breakfast, my owner was out in the backyard working at getting plants in different pots and tidying up.  She even mowed the lawn.  She tells me it's not really lawn but weeds.  She came in with her hands dirty and her feet black.  Then, it was time to have breakfast after she washed her hands.  After eating, she was back out there again, but not for long.  I think she was putting things away and taking photos of the plants and garden.

She made her drink and has been on the computer for a long time.  My owner came downstairs to check on me once because the day got dark and looked like rain.  I even got a cuddle... and I like cuddles.  

It's only Saturday and It's been a big weekend already.  My owner promised to play the piano today!  i can't wait!
