Silly Ripley! I think he believes he is a dog. If he's not trying to sit with them, he's barking like them, throwing them food or playing ball with them.

(he's all marked up from his vet visit - new feathers are finally poking through though!)

Does Ripley do that?

Lovely photo. How did the vet visit go?

Those videos are so sweet!

Eko will roll the ball back to Ripley (and did after that picture). He doesn't mind her nose-butting his ball around, but the first time she did it he did this little hop at her as if to say "damage my jingly ball and die!" I've had them together since my puppy was 8weeks old (she's over 1year now) so she's learned that the birds are higher up in the hierarchy than her

Vet visit was fine! Thanks

About the vet. So how old is Ripley? I loved that video with the dog - what a great dog and what a naughty budgie! ;D
