Finnegan

Finnegan is a silly little parakeet who loves listening to music and chirping along. His favorite phrase is "Shut the front door!" A stickler for conserving A/C and not letting flies in the house, the energy whistleblower is rewarded with his fill of bird seed.

Hornswaggle

Don’t let his sweet cheeks and soft fluff fool you, Hornswaggle can be a real dungbie. That’s pirate speak for rear end.  Argh!  Aside from constantly instructing the crew to “walk the plank *brawk* Captain’s orders ye scurvy seadogs,” the scallywag has been known to pillage the ship’s rum supply. After which, he engages in pirate karaoke until 1am. Blimey! His favorite tune is Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees.   The noise disturbance is unbelievably epic and results in the Hyannis Port Harbor Patrol receiving multiple noise complaints... I’m talking earplugs required to get any shut eye.   Sadly, drunk Hornswaggle is better behaved than the sober version.  Yikes!

Living the Dream

Found a sweet little lovebird in the kiln this morning. On the agenda for today: breakfast consisting of seeds and fresh fruits, a bath in his water dish, and singing from his favorite perch. What a life!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Puffin No.4

He has quite the schnoz on him. 

Bird Watching

No need to worry, the binoculars are not for viewing the eclipse. Thanks for your concern safety police. In fact, Sylvester gives the term "Wingman" a new meaning. With his trusty field guide and high power binoculars, he spies cute little chickadees for his shy pal Fritocandito. 

Budgie

Budgie hopes you have a fantastic Friday!

Jelly Bean

Jelly Bean is a silly little parakeet who loves listening to music and chirping along.  His favorite song is Easy Street by Collapsible Hearts Band.
