News "Flap"

So much has been happening at the nest!!  Here's a short recap:

VEGGIE TALES-
We have successfully transitioned to fresh fruit and veggies.  We started with fruit cups, canned peas, and canned corn.  I guess we should say "canned" veggies...but we're on our way.  Rockie would much rather eat french fries and a side of pizza, but some healthy pasta has shown to be an acceptable substitute.  In addition to veggies, Rockie has made some progress with switching from all seed to pellets.  We were at a 25 seed/75 pellet ratio, but he wasn't eating too well, so we've reverted to 50 seed/50 pellet.  Bill and I decided it's a battle we don't want to pick with him.  He's known seed his entire life, I would be grumpy too if someone made me change.

AVICAKE STOCK IS INCREASING!!!

I went for my usual trip to the pet store to stock up on parrot crack...aka Avicakes, and much to my surprise, they make avicakes for the keets.  I laughed to myself, but we all know they were in the bag at the checkout....So this is our impression of Keet Avicakes:

 Jasper checking it out, then they all ran around it...typical keet behavior, and started digging in.. I'm in huge trouble now.  Before millet would satisfy as "keet crack"...

Here are what the parrots have to say:

Blah Blah How about that I'm still eating mine:

HOMEMADE TOYS.....

Popsicle sticks
practice golf balls
Leather cord
Old toy parts

and we have.....

Thank you Daddy!!!

FLIGHT SUIT

Ha Ha...this was one of those toddler/baby moments trying to squirm them into their flight suits.  Biting, clawing, and flapping...One parrot made it, the other had a meltdown.

INTRODUCING OUR NEW COUSIN LEVI

Aunt Stacy lost her beloved Quaker Alex :(  But she's proud to announce that Levi will be joining her nest:

Congrats to Aunt Stacy!!!  This last picture is a family photo of Levi and his brothers and sisters.


A WORD FROM THE PARROTS COURTESY OF MOM....
Well sorry for the delay in our blogs.  Life has been crazy at the nest.  Mom and Dad are working more and more these days, but when they're home on the weekend....  We get a great parrot massage and plenty of time to poop on them.  The poor keets had to go through "wing checks"....Suckers!! 

BTW...we did hear that Grandma Kathy is coming to stay at our nest while Mom and Dad go to the Beach with Grandpa and Grandma Anthony.  "While the parents are away, the parrots will play....."



Love from the Nest.
