It’s only been a week since Lilek passed and now Abbie has gone too. My little minx suffered a short illness. We took her to the vet but she passed away on the way home. We, and Hector (her mate) miss her terribly. I’ll miss your feisty w...

On Monday 18th February we had to take the awful decision of ending Lilek’s suffering. My little Dumpling had a tumour. We had taken him to the vet on 9th February, we were told it was either a tumour or an infection. Lilek was treated for mor...

Charlie (left) eats his birthday corn on the cob, with Sky. Charlie has been with us a year today. he is approximately 4 years old.

I looked behind me and saw a little minx staring at me from the ladder on the mirror..

I had just finished my toast when a Dumpling leapt out of nowhere onto my plate.. He managed to snaffle a few crumbs before I shoo-ed him away. Naughty boy…but cute and very cheeky..

Today I have been cheered up by watching Roswell’s Dance.   He’s an energetic little dancer my Roswell. He used to dance for Snowy every evening until this playground broke.  ...

After a lot of thought and comparison of bird seed mixes I have decided to switch them from their basic mix of three millets and oats with a little canary seed to Avia. Avia is vitamin enriched and I feel that this is important. After reading about t...

Herb time this morning for the fiends. They are as loud and boisterous as ever. Charlie and Snowy have been preening each other and everyone is singing almost in tune.. Related articles Charlie has his first bath (featheredfiends.wordpress.com) Giv...

I decided that the fiends should have a bath today. A nice sunny and moderately warm day seemed perfect for a dunk. Jerry, Roswell, Monty and Snowy all had a bath. Charlie decided that it might be for him too. What he did was climb up to the top of t...

Dumpling is sitting on my arm squawking at me for attention as I type this, maybe he knows that this blog post contains some pretty fine videos of him. He’s such a playful little character as these little shorts will prove.   Enjoy!  ...

I was just wondering where my little Dumpling was. He’s a bit quiet and I can’t feel any biting on my toes. I looked down under my chair and he has curled up asleep under my foot, right by my big toe. Silly boy. He’s lucky I always...

I am going to bite these pegs and try and find a nesting place in the curtains and no matter what you do you cannot stop me. So far you have tried the toughest Rubbish bags, Lino, Paper and towels, pathetic! I am better than a human, I am Queen Budgi...

This crazy budgie is digging his bath time.

Monty has been with us for two years today! I made Monty a lovely cake made from Egg, Broccoli and Carrot, with Corn and Dill Trimmings and two stalks of Dill as Candles!     I then brought the cake in and sang the customary Happy Birthday...

Got a great photo of little Lilek flying towards me yesterday. It makes him look a little more chunky than he is cos his wings are behind him and it makes them look short. Look at the eager expression on his little chops  ...

It’s Dumpling’s (Lilek’s) birthday today! – he’s around 5. A whole year since he came to us. He’s a totally different bird these days. When he arrived he was quite the anti-social little budgie. Chittering at other...

I got round to putting something together for the fiends.  I do hope they like them.  I am happy that they are bird safe I want to see Abbie nibble them, then I will know that they have the budgies seal of approval!

In my quest to teach the budgies to alphabet I decided that all vegetable matter given to them would begin with the letter C today. So off to the Shop we rushed to purchase Chives and Corn.  This was served to the fiends along with Carrot and Courge...

The new toy – a wonderful ladder with lots of colourful things and nice wood to chew – has been here for a couple of weeks now and the budgies have barely been near it! I have tried putting it in the following places: inside a cage, stret...
