Trying it out...

Budgies just beaked at it. So I left it in their food bowl. Diego was very excited to try. :D

Finished Product...

I suck at baking so I only made a few! XD

Homemade Nutri Berries


1 C dried fruit of your choice
2 TB coconut
1/2 c old fashioned oatmeal, uncooked
1/4 c seed mix of any kind
1/4 c pellets, your choice
2 TB honey or molasses

Put first 3 items in a blender/food processor and blend. Add the rest of the ingredients--it will be sticky! On a greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet, roll balls of various sizes and put 1" apart. Bake at 325 degrees for 15-20 min. Check at 15 min to make sure they are not brown, but set. Cool and store in a tightly covered jar.


I followed this recipe. The only thing I did not have was the coconut, and the only dried fruit I had was some raisins...They are in the oven now. I will post a picture once they're done!

About the music...

If the music in my blog bothers you, scroll down and you can press "Stop" :)

A Fan...:D

NTM Update

Well somehow managed to stay in. Always sad to see contestants go :( Charlies entries were one of my faves! Next challenge is "Bird Buddies"...so we have to take photo's of our birds with their friends. I can't be in the picture so that narrrows down my ideas...and the only other bird that he will get along with is Chico. He hates Sprinkles for some reason and the girls aren't interested in him at all... :P I managed to catch some photo's a little while ago. Not sure if they're good enough for the competition though. Everyones pictures are SO great.

New Toys

2 toys that I bought a while back for the birds...forgot to post... :)

For people who read my blog

Okay...well there aren't many people who read it...lol. But I just wanted to say that to anyone who does that you will get to know things before I post them on TB...little secrets if I have any. I'm sorry my blog isn't very interesting right now. Most of it is NTM and BOTM updates...not sure what else to put up...suggestions on how to make my blog more interesting would be greatly appreciated! :)

NTM

Elimination day is tomorrow...All the entries are SO great. I feel like Diego and I didn't do very well on this one compared to the rest. Click here to see the challenges entries That link is for challenge 5. Check the NTM section of the forum to catch up if you want to! :P Anxiously waiting for tomorrow.

My Photography

Took these pictures last summer. These few were my favorites. Thought I'd post them up again. I know....they have nothing to do with birds...oh well! :D Oh and I used a normal digital camera. Nothing fancy.




Happy Pixie

I was studying yesterday in my room (also where the birds are), I let pixie sit high up on my desk on a picture frame by herself. I think she really liked being up there with no other bird because...I heard her sing!! I know a bird singing, what's so amazing about that? Well, ever since I've had her since 2009- I have NEVER heard her sing before. She even did quick little head bobs! I was so surprised. It was adorable. She even tried to regurgitate for the picture! Another thing I have never seen.
