A sweet little birdie called Lovejoy 💖

[kme3388]

I made that toy out of a bunch of bits and pieces on a metal skewer. But it’s easy enough to make, and they all love that ball that Lovejoy’s chewing, it’s stuffed with little bits of crinkly paper that they love throwing on the floor!!

Ok here’s the latest incarnation, with a cardboard poster tube zip-tied to the top so they can’t get a grip. In theory anyway!!

This is a really neat idea for parrots that you don’t want chewing on things. Luckily my parrots haven’t found the dry wall interesting.

It was a major feat of engineering, @kme3388, and one that I'm sure will need constant repair and rebuilding!

I found some very vocal magpies on Fb, and I wasn't the only one who found their singing quite captivating!

Autumn has sprung and the white-flowering eucalypts are blooming like crazy!! There are several BIG trees in next door's back yard and they overhang our fence but naturally they are SO tall we can't reach them, not even with a ladder! So we have to go a bit further afield to collect flowers, but at least our efforts don't go unappreciated

I love your parrots stainless steel cages.

Lovejoy, and peachie are too cute. Hopefully their flowers didn’t end up on the floor, or wall.

I love their stainless steel cages too and I'd love to go for the bigger size but then the bar spacing is too wide for little birds. Actually two of them are by Featherland/Caitec and they are far too heavy for me to get outside the house by myself to pressure wash, whereas the one in the picture is a different brand and is a lighter grade of stainless that I can manage by myself without hubby's help. And you KNOW those flowers ended up on the floor, but they love 'em so it's worth it

Lovejoy I just going to town on his flowers. Peachie, trying to be a stealthy ninja girl back there so we won't know she's stealing HIS stuff?

Lovejoy doesn't mind one bit sharing his flowers with his pretty Peachie princess, those two are madly in love after all!!
