Riley's video
I like to remember our “rainbow budgies” on their hatchdays. Today would have been Riley’s.
This year I decided to make videos. I wish Riley's video were longer, but she wasn't a fan of the camera, and her time with us was too short.
We found Riley on the website of the San Diego Humane Society. She had been found outdoors and brought to the shelter by a good Samaritan. She was in a horrible state. She had a severe mite infestation, with an overgrown beak. She had growths on her face and toes and was missing some toes. We think she was only able to see out of one eye.
The vets at the shelter treated her, and when she was in better health and ready to be adopted out, we brought her home.
We named her Riley in the hopes that she would be “living the life of Riley” with us. Her nickname was “Smiley Riley” as her beak disfigurement gave her the appearance of smiling.
Riley’s health improved and after quarantine, she became part of the flock. She loved being with the other budgies, eating veggies, flying about and taking baths. She was very attached to Emmy and followed her like a little shadow.
Every two to three weeks we would take her to the vet for beak trims and any follow up care she needed.
Sadly, after only 15 months with us, she began to decline. Her labs showed kidney problems and possible cancer (she had a recurring growth on her face).
If only we had had more time her. Riley became such a happy, playful little budgie and we treasured every moment with her.
As always, if you are thinking of adding a bird to your family, please consider adopting and giving a little bird like Riley a happily ever after.
*Riley's mite problem could have been easily fixed, but her previous owner let it get to a horrible state and then just released her. Budgies are not disposable and many will need vet care at some point in their lives. Please make sure you are willing and able to provide this care if needed before deciding to bring a budgie into your life.

I like to celebrate our "rainbow" budgies on what would have been their hatchdays. Today would have been Felix's. This year I decided to make videos to look back on our happy memories. We adopted Felix from Craigslist (his former owners wanted to concentrate on their cockatiels). Felix was a very handsome little devil. He had a biting problem when we first brought him home, but he mellowed out ...

Today would have been our little Gordie’s hatchday. So we are celebrating the life of our little gold star budgie. Here is Gordie’s story: We adopted Gordie in 2014, he was an older budgie - we never really knew how old he was. We were his third (possibly fourth) home. His last owner estimated him at five, but he could have been (and we suspect he was) much older. When we picked up Gordie, he o...

Ein schönes super Wellensittich Leben 😂❤ Ich liebe diese kleinen Kobolde 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😊
Such a cute little budgie
Aww she's so lovely. Happy hatch day. I hope she's still with you.
she is in all our hearts <3
@@nonothingnever Oh no I'm so sorry. She was a cute little chirp.
We were lucky to have Emmy for 11 years. Of course, I wish we had had more. We think she had some English budgie in her, because she was larger than our other budgies. We called her our "big baby." 🤍💙
@@melliots1 Aww. I love half English budgies. They have the best of both worlds. Love their shape.
@@ScaryFear I agree!
Owner: we made them lettuce slide! Birds: Let-us slide...... 😂
😄Ha!
È semplicemente stupendo 😍 Anche io ce l' ho dello stesso colore ma è molto diffidente ancora l' ho raccolto dalla strada un mese fa ❤
What fruit is that
It is a cut up zucchini (squash).
Reminds me of George. She loved tossing balsa off the cage, sometimes right in my hand. Good times.
That is so sweet, what a fun little budgie she was. 🤍💙
[Bad British accent] !! ANAR - CHY !!
😂
Sweet, precious baby budgie! Love your budgies and their happy chatter and all the wonderful fun they have together - they are so well fed and lovingly cared for!☀️☀️☀️
She was equal parts sweet and feisty. I'm so glad you enjoy them, they were a wonderful flock. 💙
Cooper! I miss her so much 🥺
Me, too. She was absolute perfection.
Hee hee. Budgies love to watch things fall. I think I heard her laugh half way through.
I think she likes the noise it makes is fun, too. : )
Peek-a-boo 😊
😄
Aww she's lovely. And so active. What a rippy bits she is too. Very dominate. I like her and all the others.
Thank you - she was such a cutie. She was very high energy and loved to be in the center of the action. : )
What a stud! Rest in peace to Mr. Handsome <3
Guys will see this and just think "Hell yeah"
cutie patootie
Oh no. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can see Sunny was special. She was so pretty too. My budgies love to "swim" like that too. I'm currently incubating some budgie eggs and hope it all goes well.
Nice boy :-)
He was our funny little budgie - and very sweet. :)
❤
Haha I remember this
I could watch this all day 😺😺😺
Absolutely Adorable ❤❤
Thank you! He was a cutie. 💙
@@melliots1 Awe so sorry to hear that 😞 Thanks for posting your Budgies. They are fulfilling the empty spot of having a flock of them. Maybe U will get some more ☺️❤️☺️
@@scotttan9211 Thank you - it's nice to have photos and videos to remember them by. 💙
Aww so many beautiful blue budgies. And a cockatiel. My budgies love to swim like that too.
Swimming was always a favorite with them. 💙
❤❤
Lil' sweeties ❤️
👍
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Aww so happy Cooper you and the whole flock had a pretty good 2022. Sorry for the losses. I should do this with Minion. Btw, have you seen Minion? You featured Whitey and I got him after she passed away in 2019. He's an amazing talking budgie. He loves pirates and Jurassic Park.
Lovely! Hope to see more content from Cooper and the Flock in 2023 🐦🥰
We've been doing more facebook and Instagram, and of course the blog every day, but we need to make more videos. 🙂
@@melliots1 Yes, I follow you on those platforms too 😅😊
I love you Cooper
Cooper loves you, too! 💙
I love you Cooper! You always bring a smile to my face ❤
Cooper loves you, too! 💙

Aww, all budgies love disco balls.
Damn, work it girl!

@@m.n.8822 We will have to do that : ).
Oh a gallery. What a great idea. Oh, I had not idea there was an art contest. I'm an artist. Cooper is so cute.
Cooper says, "Thank you!" This was her second contest. She has them in April. Check back on her blog (Cooper's Corner), facebook page (Cooper's Corner) or Instagram (@cooperkeet) next year for her 3rd annual Draw Cooper contest : ). Would love to see your entry!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!!!
Great compilation 💕
Cooper says, "Thank you!"
Happy New Year for you and Cooper and friends. Minion reached 200 words last year. Please watch his video. It's pretty amazing. Mr. 200 I have been calling him.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
How cute. Wow where did you find a tiny budgie sized bottle. Merry Christmas.
Cooper bought it at the tiny budgie store. (but really, found it on ebay, and printed a new label :).
@@melliots1 I like the idea of a tiny budgie store. Ha ha.
nice 💟
Our babies do this too, hopping in and out like that! Clearly they're not as weird as I thought!
Flappy birbday!! ❤
Sunny says, "Thank you!" <3
They're so cute. Nice to see another video from you.
