More Celebrations

5/14/2014

Our parronts are celebrating their 16th anniversary this Friday. Hooray! We call it “flock formation day” because it’s the day our flock started (even if I came 2 years later) and they always allow us to celebrate with them. But really, what they usually do is sleep in, eat out, get each other gifts, and come home to hang out with us.

It’s like the “pajama parties” mommy talks about. They make like it’s something special, even though it’s just doing what we always do. I guess it makes the same old, same old, feel special if you call it something different.

Humans are so funny. They amuse us endlessly. But still, we love them. We have good parronts. We learn so much with daddy and his movies, and mommy with her books (the ones she writes and the ones she reads). They take good care of us. We’re strong, clean, and healthy. Our food dishes are always full, and we always have great toys to destroy play with. They love us, they spoil us, and for that we can forgive them for being weird. At least they’re weird in good ways. We love our human parronts. We’re glad they adopted us. What a fabulous flock we are!

In closing, don’t forget that Chloe has a birthday coming up. Her birthday is May 20. It’s actually her adoption anniversary since the aviary didn’t have an exact birth date on her. But we know how old she is. She’ll be 12, and we’d to surprise her with a “hatch day wishes shower.” If you’re on Twitter, would you mind sending a Happy Hatch Day to @ChloeConure on May 20? Thanks, friends!

That’s all today. Take care, and have a great rest of the week.

Luv,

Zack


Post Vacation Weekends

7/12/2013

The weekend after a vacation is usually low key and restful, which is something we all enjoy. Sure, it's good to take a trip and get away, but it's also good to come home and spend some time enjoying it's comforts. And after a full week of work, I know the parronts are ready to take it easy this weekend.

We're happy to spend the time with them. Wherever they go and whatever they do, we want to be with them. We're a flock! We love spending time together. Friends are welcome too, you know. A friend of daddy's called a little while ago, and we enjoyed talking to him. They can't come to visit for a while because of schedules, but it was good to hear from them and know they're doing good.

We hope you're all doing well too. Online friends count as our "honorary flock" too! We love seeing your posts on Twitter and keeping up with you online. We love how the Internet helps you make friends all over the world!

Happy Friday to you and have a great weekend.

Luv,

Ollie

Celebrations!

5/19/2013

Our house is full of celebrations these days! Mommy and daddy celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary on Thursday, May 16. We decided to call it "flock formation day" so we could all join in the fun. They took a couple of days off work, and it was so nice to have them at home. We're getting spoiled! It's going to be tough when they go back to work tomorrow (maybe).

Then on Friday our friend, Disco the Parakeet, was on The Today Show. We all sat in front of the TV and watched. It was so exciting to see him on TV, and to see his fine flock too! He has a lovely family, he performed superbly, and best of all, he said on Twitter and Facebook that he had a lot of fun doing it - which is the most important thing.

Mommy and daddy went to see Star Trek Into Darkness on Friday. They liked it so much that they took some friends from out of town to the theater to see it Saturday. They won't shut up about that movie. Really, they were impressed. It must be good. I can't wait to see it when we can get it on our Apple TV. Mommy said she'd buy it on iTunes just as soon as it comes out. But her walking around the house saying "shall we begin?" is a bit creepy. That must be one heck of a villain they have in that movie. She said there's another scene that will make it obvious who in the theater was a Trekkie and who wasn't. But I can't say which one it is because I don't want to throw out any spoilers for those that haven't seen it yet.

Today was church. It's the first Sunday in Pentecost, which is a celebration of the day the Holy Spirit came to us. Big festival service - mommy and daddy were at church longer than usual. Then it was time for mommy to get back to work to get ready for the week. She bought groceries, cleaned the house, and checked her work email. I'm glad she got groceries early, because we had a nasty storm around 4:00 that dumped 4.5 inches of rain on us in 45 minutes. It just went on and on and on. The driveway flooded, but thankfully we have a gravel driveway, so it's already drained off. I think there's more chances of rain tonight and tomorrow. I sure hope  our friends in the mid-west are safe. We saw some scary things about tornados in there on The Weather Channel earlier! If you don't have a NOAA weather radio, it might be a good idea to get one. You can also set your smartphone to get weather alerts through The Weather Channel app too. As for us, we're fine, and the house is clean too.

Tomorrow is my birthday! Actually, it's a celebration of the day mommy and daddy adopted me. I'm already 10, but we celebrate on May 20 because that was my "gotcha day" in 2010. It's hard to believe it's been 3 years! I love it here. This is a great home and my mommy and daddy are the best.

Speaking of that, mommy did finish the rough draft of her sci-fi novella, Incursion, last Monday. She knew it would be busy for the rest of last week, so she finished it in a big push at the beginning of the week before everything else took off. Good planning on her part, I think.

So that's what's happening in our corner of the world. I hope you're all doing well. Stay safe if you're in the path of the bad weather, and take care. I hope you have a good week.

Luv,

Chloe

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! We hope you have a great day and enjoy celebrating all your blessings with your flock (family). We're so grateful for all we have: For our human family and home, for the great life they provide, and for you, our outstanding friends. You guys are awesome! Thanks for being great friends to us.

We also want to wish our human granddaddy a Happy Birthday!

Of course, we should be thankful for our blessings every day, and we certainly are. But today is a special day set aside to remind us of all we have in life.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Luv,

Ollie, Zack and Chole

Flock Member Down!

9/26/2012

 
Picture
Oh my goodness, there's an emergency in our nest. Mommy is sick with a sinus infection. We have a flock member down!

She went to the doctor, and they gave her antibiotics to kill the nasty oogie-boogies in her sinuses. The problem is, the antibiotic makes her feel tired and achey until she adjusts to it. Now how's that supposed to work? You feel bad being sick, and the cure makes you feel bad too. Goodness, humans can't win sometimes, can they?

We spent the day trying to comfort mommy and make sure she was ok. Zack and Chloe screamed every time she got too quiet while daddy was at work. Once he got home, he helped out because he talked to her and she stayed up to talk back. She complained - something about getting sleep, but aren't we supposed to make sure our flock members are ok? Our humans usually don't roost in the middle of the day. She was just laying there, way too still. We had to check on her and daddy wasn't here until 4:30.  If we can't get out of the cage to do it, we have to scream. I don't think she gets it.

Anyway, she's up now and seems to be doing ok. She's still achey, but I think the medicine is starting to work. I hope she feels better tomorrow.

That's all today. I hope you and your flock are well. Take care.

Bye!

Ollie

Busy Week!

9/14/2012

Well, it's been a busy week for mommy and daddy at least. They've worked hard. Of course, that means that WE'VE worked hard too, because our job is to make them happy and to help them destress once they get home. Our job starts when they get home from work! We love our human flock members and want to be great birds for them.

I know Zack, Chloe and I have worked hard too this week. They've been super sweet and snuggling, and I've composed a record number of new songs this week. I'm just so happy to have the whole flock together that I can't help but sing!

That's all for today. I'm going to finish watching a silly movie with daddy - Hangover 2. We've seen it before. Mommy says those guys are so dumb that she's surprised they're still alive. I think that's what makes it so funny.

Happy Friday to you and I hope you have a great weekend.

Luv,

Ollie

A Conure's Top 5 Favorite Things List

7/13/2012

 
Picture
As mommy is preparing a weekend blog entry on 5 things she's looking forward to in the coming months, I'd like to share my own Top 5 things. Wondering what us birds love? Well, here you go:

1.    Snuggle/flock time! I love to snuggle, and even though Chloe and Ollie aren't snugglers they also love spending time with our parents. We get so happy when they come home from work. I love to snuggle daddy, and Chloe loves to hang out on mommy's shoulder. We do love our flock and spending time with them is the best.

2.    Feeding time! Well, duh. Who doesn't like meal times? And the more snacks, the better. Bring on the bread, popcorn, peanuts, and Lafabers featuring Popcorn treats. Yummy. Tummy time is great.

3.    Play time! We love chewing toys, preening toys, tearing up cardboard papertowel roles and empty tissue boxes - anything we can sink our beaks into. I show those toys who the master of this universe is on a regular basis. And Happy Huts  - oh, those are Heaven on Earth. They're the best!

4.    Helping our human parents with their tasks. Whether it's folding laundry, unloading the dishwasher, housecleaning, cage cleaning, playing games on the computer, or blogging, we're here to help. We make great supervisors.

5.    Sleepy time. Humans aren't the only ones that need to recharge. It takes a lot of energy to be an adorable snuggle bug, after all, and we do need our rest to stay at our best.

So that's a conure's top 5 list. See, we aren't that complicated!

Have a Happy Friday and a great weekend.

Luv,

Zack
