Sunday Boid Blogging

Papa's got a brand new bag....er, I mean Sunny the sun conure's got a brand new cage. A biggie. You can get a peek of it behind his present cage. For now, we're keeping the cage he's used to near the new one. When curiosity gets the best of him, he can explore freely but still have the home he knows and loves available for an easy retreat.

Sunny's adult feathers continue to replace his baby ones. Above you can see how yellow feathers are growing on his back where only green ones were before. Now, to go along with his growing maturity, he'll have a much bigger place to hang out in and on. It took Mary Ellen most of the morning to put together the new cage. We'll see how long it takes Sunny to adopt it as his new home.

Soon, we'll be moving out to live in our back yard as the house becomes filled with birds and birdie things. Oh, I'm kidding, but our home is definitely starting to look like bird aficionados reside there. And they do! (Click photos for larger images.)

Holy cow! Sunny is moving from a casita into the Trump Tower Penthouse Suite! What'd he do: sell all his Yahoo stock?

I think he won the avian lottery when he came to our house to stay...

Actually we got the big cage online during a sale at a Chicago birdie biz. We even got free shipping.

Late yesterday we removed his old cage and he's been hanging out on and in his new one every since, looking like he's back in Eden. New toys, new climbing routes to explore and learn. If a parrot could smile, he'd be grinning.
