Jessica and I celebrated our 6th anniversary together with a trip to Pittsburgh. Check out the video:
I’m a big fan of birds, so just having birds around seemed like a cool idea, but I have also found my parakeets to be highly entertaining and very loving companions. Jessica and I have had lots of fun playing with them and working on socializing them. Recently I decided that they are ready to roam a little more freely in the house, and I’ve put a ladder (i.e. re-purposed CD holder) near the opening to their cage. These videos should show you what I’m talking about.

My parakeets will sometimes bicker over who gets to sit at the food trough. Over a few weeks I captured two separate food battles on video, which I have called parakeets food standoff numbers 1 and 2.
