Cozzy Man. He is quite the little talker and among his favorites are Sweet Man, Who's Sweet?, I'm Smart, (the kissy sound), Be Sweetheart, Love You. |

Wham and Cozzy actually behaving themselves together - quick take the picture. |

Here they are keeping an eye on each other on one of their play gyms. |

Right before Cozzy attacked Whammy for the toy he was chewing on. Cozzy is trying to make himself look big and tall. |

This is Whammy in his High Rise home. He'll stay inside here even if you leave his door open. He loves his cage. |
|

Whammy rips up one of Stinky's toys on Stinky's cage. Much fun is had exploring each other's cages and destroying each other's toys. |

Gizzy loves Brownberry 12 Grain bread. The dogs hang around to clean up her leftovers. |

Gizzy/Gizmo, our nanday conure. Hatch approximately (Oct?) 2002. |

Little Giz taking a nap in the sleeping cage. What a little angel. |

What a sweet, gentle Gizzy Bird. Don't you just want to smother him with kisses? |

A freshly bathed Bebe. What a beauty. |

This is the Little Conure Apartments - Cozzy is on top and Bebe is on the bottom. |

Cozzy needs no encouraging to bathe in his water cup on his favorite play gym. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whammy loves his baths too. See his missing tailfeathers? He freaked out when he saw the new mister and dropped 4 of his tail feathers. Poor guy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cozzy is scritching a good spot on Whammy. They couldn't be sweeter towards each other at the moment. |
|

This is often how you will find two bonded birds. They participate in the same behaviors at the same times while perching close together. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
What a lucky day for me to get so many cute pictures of these two boys behaving. |

Whammy (sun conure) grew up with this little cockatiel (Sunshine) and you can see they are still quite fond of each other. |

Maxi's first day home. She bravely steps out to greet her new world. |
|

This isn't Maxi's best photo, but it shows you where some of her neighbors are. You can see some of the cockatiels in the background here. |
|

|
Can you see her happy little eyes here? 11/21/04 was her first day here and she is settling in quickly. |

Here is Maxi, all snug as a bug, taking an early evening nap in her happy hut, 11/22/04 around 5pm. |
