Tiny taking a bath in her water dish

Occasionally if Tiny really wants a bath, she will try to fit herself in the water dish in her cage and start splashing around. Once I see her doing this, I bring her the shallow Tupperware she uses as a bathtub, which is much easier than cramming oneself in the container in the cage. She's really cute when she takes a bath, she purrs like a cat and splashes everywhere.

Naptime

Lately both birds have taken to sleeping on the laptop for an afternoon nap...it's not good for the computer at all, but it's super cute.

They find the warmest part of the computer and go to sleep there. I know Edy really likes warming his feet on it...I think Tiny saw him to do it and is copying.

For some reason, Tiny looooves Indian food...here she is helping herself to my paneer tikka masala and paratha. She's usually shy, but for this she flew over and landed in the bowl while I was still eating.

Sleeping birds

Awww they look so cute and puffy when they're asleep!

I don't know why, but they love to sleep on my legs at the computer.

 

Tiny with her birdfriend

Tiny loves this cockatoo stuffed animal...she likes to hide under its wing and go to sleep. So cute!

My birds: some introductions

Edy is about 8 years old and he's always getting into mischief! He loves to whistle/make crazy growling noises, ruin stuff around the house (mirror and picture frames seem to be his favorite), look at himself in the mirror, go in the shower, and do dances. He's really funny and pretty good at getting into trouble.

He's quite hyperactive...he likes to be petted but is always interrupting to bonk on your hand or bite your fingers or something.

He has a hilarious "tall and short" dance...as well as one we call "vampire dance" because it looks like he is biting his own neck, and others. Here he is doing tall and short. He loves it if you say "tall!" and "short!" along with him while he does it.

Edy is not shy at all, he loves meeting new people and will fly right away to your shoulder or head as soon as he sees you.

Tiny is the complete opposite...she's really shy, timid, and quiet. If she sees new people, she hides. Sometimes she will hide behind a glass (ineffective but cute).

She only makes noise if you leave her in a room by herself, which she finds really upsetting, even just for a few minutes. She's very affectionate and loves to be petted and snuggle at your face.

Tiny is about 7 years old but acts kind of like a baby--she doesn't fly great, and she doesn't seem to know a lot of "bird things." She is totally in love with my brother. Until lately she had a lot of health problems, especially with excessive egg laying. Luckily I have a fantastic vet.

Tiny likes to take a bath in a tupperware dish, and will open her wings helpfully for you to spray underneath.

Tiny really likes Edy, she is always trying to see what he's doing or attempting to get close to him. Sadly, he does not like her at all and will scream at her (and sometimes attack her) if she gets close.

More on their antics soon!
