BOGIE BULLETIN #3 News News News

[BirdWhisperer]

Bogie spent the morning on the large dining room table hopping between his playpen and his small sleeping cage. (Not that small, two cups, toys and levels of perches but compared to his big cage in my office ... it is "small".)

My husband is a very early person and got up this morning, took the dog out, woke Bogie up and they went into the dining room. The dog went back to sleep and my husband read the paper and worked on his powerbook.

This morning Bogie became a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Buster Keaton. He was everywhere, playing with everything he could find, including the computer. My husband could not believe his antics and his constant personal involvement with him. Bogie would play and then run back to him, jump on his hand to get to his mouth, peck to let him know he wanted words, and then, sit like a little student and listen.

When I woke up, he had already added new words to his vocabulary.

We went to Petco later today to buy some "foot Toys" like Indy has, but there was a terrible selection. I found some cute toys for Ferretts. Tonight Bogie picked the dayglow green ball with the bell inside. Quite a sight.

Will try to get photos tomorrow.

wonderful new update - look forward to the photos.
I wish our Rio was as friendly, you're lucky.

We will try to get a picture or two or more of Bogie with his Ferret toy. He's all over the place. Full of curiosity and wants words.

He added something on his own this afternoon ... from THERE IS A BIRD IN HERE ... he added ... THERE IS A BABY BIRD IN HERE.

And he smells so good. When he is on my finger, leaning in for his "words", the scent is beyond description. If I could bottle "parakeeter" it would be something every woman and man would wear.

More tomorrow, with pictures I hope.

btw: Bogie was named after a pretty great star ... and ... he is quickly becoming one.

Bogie sounds like such a character - you certainly have a way of picking out unique budgies! Love the updates.

Pictures of Bogie with the Ferret toy are posted in Bogie Bulletin #4.

Love both of your feedbacks.

Ummm... I may have had something to do with this. Those foot toys in the pictures of Indy are his favorite! When he broke one I went to Petco to but a new one and they discontinued them! The girl told me she sold the last one the night before. So being the mom the spoils her baby I think I hit just about every Petco in Southern California and bought them up - they were discounted to .50 cents. He plays with them so much he breaks them quickly (the flower one).

I am glad that you did find something for Bogie! I saw his pictures with the green ball on the other post - very cute - he looks so happy!!
