Spring and Cockatiels

The apple blossom was out, and the birds spend the afternoon in the orchard, while I weeded the long grass next to the feijoas.

Putting them in the apple tree was a mistake, as they quickly decided they liked picking the blossom, and throwing them away.

 I can't believe these beautiful birds have been in our family for nearly a year.

Birds and Cats growing up...

 The additions to the family have grown, and get into so much mischief.  We love them though!

Frankenstein has developed  a taste for "bird"

Quinn has changed the name of Kenway to Smokey.  We are getting used to the new name.

 Quinn and Smokey spend lots of time outside in the garden.

Total loves the feijoa trees.  I think she would spend all day in them, sniping the leaves off, one by one.

Cat Alert!

Pins and Parrots

 The two cockatiels have decided to help me finish the Rainbow Quilters 25th Anniversay Quilt.  I am busy sewing on 200 petals, and they found the yellow headed pins.

I gave up sewing for the rest of the day.  They would empty the pin container, then discover the pins on the quilt.

Just one at a time

I would pick up all the pins,  put the birds back at the pin container, and repeat.

The joys of being a crazy bird lady!
