BIRD ACTIVITIES

I had a different post in mind for today, but it is not quite ready. So let's have a look at my cockatiel Pepper.

I'm sure I have mentioned how agile she is, and the fact that her wings are clipped. That doesn't keep her from getting onto and into places that at times I'd rather she didn't.

The other bird, Chipper, is a good deal smaller than Pep, and as a result Chip has a smaller cage. There had been a time when Pepper was forever climbing into Chip's cage to eat his food (same stuff) and Amalie or I would have to chase her out of there. So she knows she is not supposed to get into that cage. As demonstrated by her actions this morning. Wish I had a photo. I looked over to see little Miss Guess Who in the wrong cage. All I said was, "Pepper". A bit loudly. She took one look at me, climbed out, down, and over to her own domain.



One of her favorite items to climb is my walker.
Here she is, almost all the way up.














She's looking pleased with herself as she sits on top of my dresser.
I suspect she got up there by climbing up the walker, and then jumping over to the dresser.
















Now she is sitting on top of my clothes hamper. Not too sure how she got there. I suggested to her that she not get down inside, so of course you know what she did. Sorry I didn't get a pic of that.

And here she is climbing up my leg. She will sit on my foot until she sees an opening, and then up she comes. Usually she wants her head rubbed, but occasionally she will turn her head away from me and look at the walker. "I want up there!"
