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.

More Edy being cute

Here's another one of Edy lying down. So cute!

 

Here is a rare occasion where he is letting me pet him and NOT biting me.

He makes happy little beep-growls when you pet his forehead.

Edy lying down

Cockatiels don't usually lie down, but Edy has taken to doing this sometimes while I am taking a nap--he doesn't seem to be in any pain or sick, I think he is just copying me lying down. He finds it amusing and sometimes does a dance while sitting like that. Where on earth did he put his legs?

 

Why is he so cute???

Edy hiding

Edy's a pretty chirpy bird...but every now and then, he'll be doing his own thing around the house and I suddenly think, "He's silent! Where the heck is Edy?" and I worry he's gotten himself into some trouble. Usually the case is, he's found a spot to hide and he finds it amusing to make me look all over the house for him for about ten minutes before he bothers to chirp.

This was from a few years ago but I came across it recently--what an excellent hiding spot!

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.
