The floor!

Do you enjoy running around the floor? We do! Of course, there aren’t any four-legged animals living with us.
We had a nice little adventure wandering around the floor this morning. That is, until we heard some birds calling outside and decided it was best to return to the safety of the bird room as soon [...]

A little light in my life

I’ve been asked to relay to pis everywhere that you should not try this at home.
But, finding unusual places to perch is kind of a specialty of mine.
I was not allowed to stay on this perch very long. It looks really good with my coloring though, don’t you think?

If you are on Facebook, find out if you are “like” Django or Gillie!

There’s now a quiz on Facebook you can take to find out if you are most like Django, Gillie or Masti (the senegal who lives with us.)
So far, the two humans who have taken it who live with pionus parrots both ended up being most like Masti, the senegal! This cannot be! There must be [...]

Going to the vet

Django: Going to the vet is a very important part of a pionus’ life. We both go to the vet every six months. We have our annual exam, which includes a “Complete Blood Count” (CBC) and a physical exam. Signs of papilloma are one thing our vet checks for in our physical exam. He recommends [...]

I love my water bottle

It’s pretty cool to push the little ball around.
I can’t get it to come out, though.
Don’t worry, I’m not drinking the whole time in this video. Mainly, I’m just playing.

Do you ever freak out in the dark?

I do.
In fact, I have three times this week; once early Tuesday morning, again on Wednesday morning, about 1:30a.m., and again at 8:00p.m. or so on Wednesday night.
I still really wanted to sleep in my sleep cage, even though I had freaked out a few times. I still like it in there! I didn’t want [...]

Jungle Talk Mazy Munch toy

This is absolutely the BEST nutriberry dispenser ever!
Django and I each have one of these. Mine is yellow. His is purple.
There are different ways you can retrieve the nutriberry. If you are in a hurry, you can simply pick at it through the toy, where-ever it might be! Or, if you want it to come [...]

Sinus infections are not fun

I had an unusual sneeze on Monday so Michelle took me to the doctor. They said I was very stuffed up. I had like three nasal flushes! Three! They are not fun! They hold you upside down and drip medicine in your nares.
Dr. B. looked down my throat and said I was very inflamed. [...]

Flight Suit

I really like fabrics.
I like how they feel. Humans seem to use a lot of them. They can put on several different fabrics each day and each one might feel different.
I also like it when strings hang off the fabrics and you can hang from them.
There was a little piece of fabric on my cage. [...]

Today is an anniversary

Two years ago today, Michelle came to visit me at the pet store for the last time.
It was for the last time because she brought a little carrier and took me home with her. Joe from the store gave her the toys from my cage there to help make the transition easier. It was nice [...]
