This is the first blog I've ever done.... About my little flock of three. Bonnie is a beautiful Lutino girl is at least 3 years old, probably 4 or 5, we got her as a rescue 3 years ago with a friend called Clyde who sadly was killed by one of our cats last October . Cloudy is a blue and white girl, I think what is called a clearwing? If someone could tell me for sure, I would be grateful! We got her in November to replace Clyde so she would be about 4 or 5 months old Jamie is a normal blue and white boy. And what a handsome boy! We got him the same time as Cloudy. a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/385391_1983762373567_1828490153_1344440_688235436_n.jpg[/img] Cloudy is at the front of the picture, Jamie at the back. all three, Bonnie at the right hand side

well, got home from work early today, the weather outside is foul so the living room was quite dark and the flock was dozing. Someone has unhooked the water bowl from the cage bars and spilt water all over the floor of the cage so I'll have to change the newspaper..... I think it was Cloudy, I've seen her doing it before. Now they are having their 'coffee morning' , I have opened the cage door so they can fly out if they want but they are quite happy sitting chatting to each other . Cloudy is jealous of Bonnie since Jamie pays Bonnie more attention than her! Jamie, being a bloke, just wants a quiet life....

Lovely birds. Sad about poor Clyde. If budgies can wreck something, they will find a way. Mine has figured out how to push our phones off the kitchen bench onto the hard tiled floor. It's very annoying.

we all had a long lie in this morning, since its the only morning we can.... we've just had our breakfast, bacon rolls and tea for the humans, cat food for the cats and seeds for the flock...now they're settled on their branch, arguing about something.... Its quite funny, Cloudy annoys Bonnie til she flies away, Jamie follows Bonnie, then Cloudy joins them, getting inbetween Bonnie and Jamie and the cycle starts all over again!

bought the flock a seedbell yesterday. Jamie and Cloudy have now destroyed it. Healthy breakfast guys . I opened their door a little while ago, to let them out for a fly. Jamie and Cloudy shot out, Bonnie doesn't seem to be bothered about coming out. Cloudy, the one that bosses Bonnie about, is now sitting on top of the cage, twittering at her to come out . When I was in Pets At Home yesterday, I saw the perfect cage. Its £85 so I'm going to have to save for it, but its about twice the size of the cage they have now, and has horizontal bars on all four sides. Then I'll have to spend far too much money getting new rope and wood perches to make their new home perfect . Cant wait!

another cold wet and grey day, and the flock are settled on their branch at the corner of the room. For some reason, the two hens are sitting together at one end and Jamie is on his own at the other end. Can birds see their shadows? Because thats what it looks like he's doing, talking to his shadow

They are just fine, and chirping away in a beam of sun coming through the window . They have been out all day today since I am off work. From reading info on Barrie's site, and another site that i found, I have worked out that Cloudy is a Spangle Cobalt Blue and Jamie is a Normal cobalt. Not positive still, sometimes they look like Sky blues.
