Oscar is my "newish" parakeet. He's been part of our family for a couple months now. He was a surprise birthday gift and it took quite awhile to come up with a good name for him. Husband wanted Larry, as in Larry Bird (he's a big sports fan), daughter wanted Sapphire, and I was all over the map: Secret Agent 37, Sir Edward Feathers, Pippi, Blue....but we never felt the offered names were right for him until one of us (we can't agree which) said, "Oscar Blue, I love you!" So it stuck....and we cannot wait until he repeats it back to us. In the meantime we shout, "Let's see who's louder: Oscar or the blender, vacuum, dishwasher, etc." He out chirps most electronic appliances. He can even out chirp the crows. Really!
I have not been able to find suitable cage decor for his home, (note project list at side) so I am designing and making him a seed cozy (parakeets throw their empty seed hulls everywhere) and a beautiful cage cover cozy for nighttime. Right now, he's using a beach towel, which is fine because it's summer, but since he's a part of our home, he needs something lovely. He'll be moving into the sunroom once that's done; complete with his own trickling fountain, lush tropicals and outdoor bird's eye view.
Have a lovely day and do share with me about what made YOUR day lovely!
