Just in case you didn't know there's a calendar photo contest poll going on at this time.

January 2008 Photo Contest POLL!

Pogo's in 2nd place so far - I love that pic too, he looks like he's in heaven

Of course everyone should vote for the one they like the best. Just wanted to let us Budgie people know the voting is going on now.

Yes, he definately likes that ice cream. If I just open the freezer he's on my shoulder in about 3 seconds. Of course, he is not allowed to go overboard, and I definately control how much he can have.

Jerry is like that too, he knows that I keep some of his snacks in the freezer and he's on my shoulder like that too when I open the freezer

Pssst - we need a Ziggy update!

I'm trying not to eat ice cream myself - I don't know why they love milk products so much when thy shouldn't be eating them...Laker's the same with cereal.

I love the photo of Pogo it is a great one ~ but I have to fess up & say I voted for Jim's Cricket. It was very hard to decide as usual & I did feel like I was letting the Budgies down. But even if Pogo doesn't win this time - I know you have talent & will produce a photo that will get in at least one time. So please keep giving us those great Pogo & Ziggie moments.

& what about that Eve - wasn't that a funny food face!

Ziggy is becoming quite the character. He's starting to talk now and makes many of the same noises and whistles that Pogo does -- he also does the super head bob with the barking noise like Pogo does in his Woody Woodpecker video on YouTube. Sometimes I can't tell who's talking or making a noise unless I watch them doing it.

Ziggy is coming to me on command too like Pogo. He let's me touch him and likes to play with my fingers ... unlike Pogo. They are definitely two different characters, but similar in some ways. They get along pretty good, but I can tell Pogo thinks he's the boss most of the time. Ziggy can get aggressive too and then Pogo will let him have his way. Ziggy's flying skills are 100% now ... he's a real flying machine and doesn't make any mistakes anymore. He's also getting interested in human food too, and doesn't hesitate much now to try a taste if he sees Pogo or me eating something new.

Ziggy is molting pretty good right now, so he looks really scruffy. I'm sure he'll be a handsome guy when he gets all his adult feathers. I'll have to post pixs when he's looking good again.

Sounds like Ziggy is doing great!

It's the same in my house!!

Sounds fantastic, Ziggy is a proficient flier and getting in his adult feathers. Definitely post pics when he has his new feathers.

My guys can get bossy with each other too, but it never lasts long.
