Shirley's been home the last couple of days. She had an exam on Wednesday. We've been trying to bother her. hee hee hee hee
At first we just yelled at her, but she's learned to drown us out. So, we came up with a fantastic idea. Since she gave us the nest last week, we've decided to do hoppy dances all day long. And, we've been adding more pizzazz to our dance. More singing, more dancing, more moaning and more fisticuffs.
At first, Shirley was okay with it. It would distract her from studying for a second. However, as we got louder and more frequent, she would get bothered more and more. She actually had to leave the room!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! It was acutally making her feel uncomfortable! HEE HEE HEE HEE! Well, we must admit, the moaning and the eventual bucking off of Dragon does cause a lot of noise.
Poor Shirley. That will teach her to take a summer course.
The best part is that whenever she tries to take a photo or a movie of our dances, we just stop. She'll never have proof! Crazy crazy Shirley making up stories of "hoppy dances". We're just innocent little birds sitting on perches, eating some seed. We don't know what she's talking about. Hee hee hee hee.

Fascist Pigs!
Last night we learned that the condo rules prohibit us from breeding.
FASCIST DICTATORS!
Do those autocrats really think they can prevent us from doing hoppy dances! DO THEY! Do they think they can prevent us from just laying eggs everywhere!
STUPID, POWER-HUNGRY, SMALL-MINDED HYPOCRITES! (We say hypocrites because some of them are breeding.)
WE WILL BREED!
We must figure out which units those fascists live in so that we can get our pigeon friends to pay them a visit. Maybe one of the dogs that lives in our building will crap in front of their doors. hee hee hee.
DOWN WITH DICTATORSHIPS!

WE GET A NE-EST! WE GET A NE-EST!
The carpet came out of the hallway today. That means we get a nest today or tomorrow.
Dragon: I've been trying to build one for the last few weeks out of the few branches in our cage, but they don't move. I've been trying to steal paper from the bottom of the cage, but Shirley gets mad and yells at me when I try to rip it. Meanie!
Ophie: I've been trying to build my own nest using string from the big curtain around our nest but Shirley yells at me too when I pull on the string. Super Meanie!
We were hoping that that nice tall girl Emily would give us a nest when she came over but she didn't. Dragon even tried to sing her a song, but that did not work. Her boyfriend Jian uses lots of bad words. If we could speak English we would repeat them just to make Shirley angry. We don't speak English, we speak Java and yes, we code in Java too.
Soon there will be babies and after the babies grow up there will be an army of birds to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
If you plan on visiting the babies after they are born, we are registered at Dominion and Loblaws for spinach. ;)

It's hot in here!
Cheese and Crackers, it's HOT IN HERE!
Shirley and Steve haven't turned on the air-conditioning yet, so we are boiling! AND NO, WE DON'T SMELL LIKE CHICKEN!
We spend our days trying to keep cool by switching where we stand. These plastic perches are useless. We've discovered the best spot to stand is on the steel tube attached to the water dispenser. It stays really cool. But it's also angled so we eventually slide off.
When are they going to turn on the a/c! I know it's all about saving energy and helping the environment, blah, blah, tree-hugger blah blah. HOW ABOUT SAVING THE BIRDS! HUH! EVER HEARD OF SAVING THE BIRDS! There's only so many baths a bird can take before they turn into little wrinkly sacks of feathers. Prune claws, prune claws.
If only World Wildlife Foundation or Greenpeace could find out about our predicament, they'd give us a/c. Someone call PETA and get that Pamela Anderson over here.
P.S. They're fake Stephen.

WHERE IS OUR NEST!
Steve and Shirley promised us that they would give us a nest in May. It's May 15th already and we have no nest.
GIVE US A NEST!!!!!
Stupid humans. We hear you talking!
Steve said that he only wants to give us a nest after they install the new carpet in the hallway. yeah, yeah. First it was, after they do the drywall, then it was after they finish painting, then it was after they install the wallpaper. We know you're just going to make up another excuse after the carpet is done.
Why can't we have a nest? We want to have little baby birdies. We're going to train them to bite humans and sing loudly when crucial parts of tv shows are on and throw spinach at humans.
Who doesn't want an army of baby birdies.

Porn Director Shirley
What kind of pervert is she?!!!!
Can't a couple of birds do the naughty dance without someone filming it? There's a little thing called "privacy" or "decency" or "leave the room".
Shirley's been trying to film us doing the "hoppy dance". She doesn't think people believe her when she describes the dance. Anyway, it's really hard to concentrate on the moves when you've got someone sitting two feet away from you using a zoom camera.
Dragon adds: "Guys, are you with me here? You wouldn't like someone filming you when you're laying down the moves, right? Sheesh."
Who does she think we are, some couple on Webdreams? For all you perverts out there, Lily, we know you watch the show and we want no part of it.
This ain't no Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom either!

Shhhh! Shirley has a headache.
Hi Everyone,
We're sorry we haven't posted lately. Poor Shirley has had a lot of headaches from her allergies so we've been trying to keep the noise down.
If any of you could send us some baby spinach, we would really appreciate it. Shirley won't give us any this week because she thinks we're eating too much of it and we'll get iron poisoning. BAH! Who does she think she is, a dietican or something. Maybe we'll ask Steve's mom what she thinks. She's a real dietician. Anyhow, we only have brocolli to eat this week. It's okay. We get to stand on it while we eat it and it rolls around and is fun, but it's no spinach.
P.S. Please put it in a box labelled "Computer Parts" that way Shirley won't open it. Steve will open it and we can always convince him to give it to us. He's a pushover, but he'll be sad that there are no computer parts in the box. Be kind and throw in some RAM for the Stevie, then everyone's happy.

Expanding the Pet Food Recall
WE ARE VERY UPSET THAT THEY KEEP EXPANDING THE RECALL.
Menu Foods is expanding their recall list.
We don't like sick kitties or doggies. Our friend Benny is sick and it worries us so much, but that's not from the pet food, he's just got a lazy colon.
Please visit the link in the Original "To All Doggie and Kitty Friends" post.

Shirley's always teasing poor Stephen
That mean Shirley is always teasing our poor Stephen.
Most of the time, she's singing songs or repeating phrases that he doesn't know and he wants to know, but she won't tell him where they come from. Then she'll make fun of him because he doesn't know. Mean, mean Shirley.
Don't you worry Stephen, we'll tell you where they come from. We spend a lot of time on YouTube
Dr. Snuggles:
Too bad, too bad...Jeremy
Clickity-click, Barba-trick!
Peter Rabbit goes hippity hop...
For he goes birling down a-down white waters...
Tsk, tsk Stephen, you should know that a log driver's waltz pleases girls completely. Tsk.

Wii injuries Number 1 & 2
Okay, so we have our first Wii related injuries...
The first was Shirley trying so hard to return a tennis serve that she ended up hitting Steve with the remote. We told you she's not co-ordinated. Poor Stevie. He put on a brave face, but we could tell he was really hurt. I don't think he's going to ask Shirley to play tennis again.
The second injury was Shirley pulling her calf muscle. We don't know how she did it because all of the games require you to move just your arms, but she managed to pull a leg muscle. Did we mention she's not very athletic? Anyway, we're going to have to remind her to stretch before she plays next time. Poor Shirley... Poor, sad, pathetic, non-athletic, uncoordinated little Shirley.

There's a new bird in our cage!
Shirley put a weird ladder with a shiny square on top in our cage. But, whenever you look at the square, there's another bird!
Why is there another bird in our cage?! We're good birds. We sing good songs. Okay, Dragon did bite Shirley but that was just a reflex. He didn't really mean it. (Dragon says the other bird is a boy, Ophie says it's a girl.)
We're trying to figure out where the bird hides. We look into the square and see the bird, but when we look behind it, the bird isn't there.
Dragon tried to trick the other bird by getting Ophie to stand behind the square while he stood in front of it. Dragon kept yelling "He's right there! He's right there!" Ophie kept saying, "I don't see him. He's not here. Nope, no bird." (Obviously, this led to a heated argument with feathers being pulled, poking beaks and quite a few nasty remarks. Dragon and Ophie didn't speak to each other for a while after this.)
We were getting really upset about the new bird being in our cage at night. Steve thought it was mean to put a new bird in our cage, so he took the ladder and square out of our cage when Shirley was getting ready for bed. Shirley told him he was babying us. She put it back in but put it on the side of the cage so that now the other bird is outside our cage. We like it better now that the other bird is outside.
Dragon adds: No one better try to steal my girlfriend Ophie.

To Doggie and Kitty Friends!
Please make sure your humans are not feeding you the following foods...
Natural Balance
Menu Foods (Dogs) (who supply President's Choice and other private labels)
Menu Foods (Cats) (who supply President's Choice and other private labels)
Purina
Del Monte
Hills Pets
And make them check the sites again in case stupid corporate fat cats (no offense kitties) sometimes would rather delay releasing the info to keep making money than tell everyone if their products are tainted.
Don't worry, we'll tell our bird friends to poop on their heads if they see those Fat Cats. (We're not referring to our friends Benny or Alabar who are just big boned.)

Wii!
The humans are at it again. Steve bought a Wii for Shirley to get some "exercise". Yeah...sure.
We've now discovered why Shirley doesn't participate in group sports. Have you ever seen her try to hit a ball? She has absolutely no eye hand co-ordination. Watching her try to play Wii baseball is agonizing. It's really a wonder how she can manage to get food from a plate into her mouth. Although this does explain why it's so easy for us to not get caught when she tries to cut our nails. So sad, it's almost pathetic...
Anyway, for the last couple of days we've been watching them jerk around looking like idiots. It's very amusing. At first we yelled at them because we were worried people in other buildings would see them, but now we just sit back and laugh. We cheer when they look especially stupid. There's bowling, tennis, baseball, golf and boxing. Steve likes tennis and golf. Shirley likes bowling and boxing.
We're just waiting for the day when one of them throws that controller into the tv.
Apparently, there's some other rabbit game that they haven't tried yet. It's going to be great watching them hop around like rabbits (or like a Dragon sexy dance). We'll have to make sure we have plenty of seed to eat while we watch that.

The last straw
Ophie's Side:
So, Dragon said he wished I was dirty like that potty mouthed parrot Ruby....
I've been putting up with Dragon's antics for a while now. First, it was the constant hopping (sexy dance), then it was the poking, then it was the chasing. Finally, that parrot comment broke me. I waited and as most humans know, you should look out when a bird is above you. That's right, I pooped on Dragon's head.
hee hee hee
He was all mad and wanted me to help him clean it off. Maybe he should ask his new girlfriend Ruby if she'll help clean it off.
So, he got most of it off, but he didn't know if it was all gone when the humans came home. Shirley knew what happened right when she saw him and laughed. Dragon was not too happy about that. Steve came home later and asked why Dragon had a sandy head. Shirley told him it was poop and he laughed. Dragon was so mad.
He kept asking me to clean it off. I would pretend to, but I would leave it there. (hee hee hee) Once in a while the humans would come by and say to him "Hey, Shithead, wash your head." or "Hi Poopiehead. When you gonna take a bath?" Dragon's really not happy, but that's what happens when you mess with Ophie.
Dragon's Side:
%!?@#&!@&#*...Ruby...&@*&%^@*%#@...humans...#^@%!$#@#@*&...poopiehead

Stupid Budgies showing off
Stupid budgies.
Don't let Shirley or Steve see these videos or else all we'll hear is "Shake my hand", "Wave a foot", blah, blah, blah
How about we shake our feet up your ass?
Excuse the potty mouth. Apparently, Steve and Shirley were too busy with other stupid humans to come home and give us our lettuce.

Yes, I bit her and I would do it again!
Dragon's side: Yes, I bit Shirley, but I was totally within my rights! Shirley was trying to catch us again to cut our nails. She's afraid of us, so she wears a yellow rubber glove on one hand when she's doing it. She thought she caught me, but when she tried to use her other bare hand to get a better grip, I bit her. She screamed. She's such a baby. It didn't break the skin or anything, but I have been keeping my beak nice and sharp lately. She's been mad for days. Every time I try to call out to her, she yells back that I bit her. She'll get over it. But I noticed she hasn't tried to cut our nails since then.
Shirley and Steve are upset that I keep bothering Ophie. I like to boss her around, poke her, bite her and prevent her from eating. Steve' s really upset and wants to separate us. Shirley said that eventually Ophie gets tired of the bothering and lays a smack down on me. It's true, but it's fun to see how long it takes before she snaps.
Ophie's side: I'm going to open a can of whoopass on him!

You're going to cut WHAT?!
What has gotten into the humans?
Last night, Shirley and Steve got it into their heads that they were going to cut our nails. Why? We like our nails. Okay, some of them are quite long and we're having a hard time standing on our perches, but we don't want anything cut off.
Anyway, Shirley and Steve thought up a plan of her catching us and Steve cutting the nails. However, they didn't realize that we heard Shirley say that she would only try catching us for a maximum of 5 minutes before she would stop. (She's worried that she'll scare us too much for our little hearts to take.)
Anyway, we knew something was up, so we stayed away from the cage doors. Shirley tried and tried, but she couldn't catch us. We think she's afraid of us. hee hee hee
Anway, we flew around escaping her grip for 5 minutes and then she stopped. She said she'd try again. Sheesh, weird humans. Anyway, it would be nice if our nails were a bit shorter, but we'd rather go to a salon to get our nails done.
We need a vacation.

Where did the nest go?!
We were calmly sitting on the eggs when suddenly Shirley put a big piece of newspaper in our cage. Why?! The newspaper tried to attack us, so we had to leave the nest and stay in one of the corners. The newspaper blocked our view of the nest, so we tried to attack it to get back to the nest.
After a few moments, Shirley took the newspaper out of the cage. We tried to go back to the nest, but it was gone! Where did it go?! We looked under all the food dishes and under all the items in the cage, but the nest was gone. Then we tried calling out for the babies, but there was no answer.
Shirley looked really sad and we asked her to help us find the nest, but she didn't know where it was. Steve came home and he was very upset too about the nest. He and Shirley discussed something about throwing stuff down the garbage chute. We hope it was that newspaper that attacked us and stole our nest.
All night we searched and called for our nest, but there was no answer.
Maybe our nest will come back some day.
After a few moments, Shirley took the newspaper out of the cage. We tried to go back to the nest, but it was gone! Where did it go?! We looked under all the food dishes and under all the items in the cage, but the nest was gone. Then we tried calling out for the babies, but there was no answer.
Shirley looked really sad and we asked her to help us find the nest, but she didn't know where it was. Steve came home and he was very upset too about the nest. He and Shirley discussed something about throwing stuff down the garbage chute. We hope it was that newspaper that attacked us and stole our nest.

Last Day
Today is the last day of incubation. If a baby does not hatch today then the eggs are all duds.
It's so sad. :(
Shirley said that she might not let us lay eggs again because the problem may be that Dragon and I are related. I think Steve's trying to convince her to let us try again later this year.
We overheard Shirley and Steve discussing how they're going to get the nest out of the cage without us getting mad at them. Steve said he's going to hide in the bedroom so we don't think he has anything to do with it. Shirley said she's going to try to fool us by using a toy bird as a decoy. We'll let you know what happens.

Bad Humans!
Why we let these humans live with us, we don't know.
Today Stephen "worked from home" and then in the afternoon, two INTRUDERS came by with a huge sofa to be placed right in front of us. (The old sofa is in the background.)
We were very upset about being disturbed while we are tending to the eggs. (No babies yet.) We both vocalized our displeasure and Steve had to put our cage cover down so that we would no longer see the INTRUDERS in our home.
We were okay when they left, but then Steve had to take a nap in front of us.
Sheesh, must be nice not to have to sit on four eggs all the time... Must be nice to sit on a nice comfy sofa whenever you want... Must be nice not to sleep sitting up on a plastic stick...
We will vocalize our displeasure with Shirley when she gets home.

Benny's Got a Blog!
Our friend Benny has a Blog.

Okay, he might eat us if he saw us, but he's our friend in spirit.
Poor Benny cat with the constipation. He should eat brocolli like we do, we poop a lot after eating brocolli. Shirley doesn't like it because she has to clean the cage, but that's how we roll.

7 Days down, 7 Days to go
Dragon's side:
Well, how long is the incubating going to take? Ophie won't let me snuggle with her in the nest and she's not paying attention to my hoppy dance. I didn't know making a nest was going to result in having to sleep on a perch alone. I have discussed my displeasure with the smallness of the nest with Shirley and Steve. They have agreed that next time they will get us a nest big enough for both of us to sit in together.
Ophie's side:
Dragon's a ninny. He's always jumping on my back in the nest trying to fit two birds in a space meant for one. He's such a guy. Eggs are fine so far. I don't know if any are going to hatch. We'll wait another week and then decide if we're going to say they're duds. If Dragon bothers me again in the nest, I'm going to give him the pecking of a lifetime.

Final Egg Count: 4!
It's 4 eggs for us! YAY OPHIE!
The last egg was laid on Friday, February 23rd. It takes 14 to 18 days of incubation until the eggs will hatch. That means the earliest that a baby will appear is Friday, March 9th.
We'll keep you up to date on how the eggs are coming along.

How many will it be?
Poor Shirley and Steve...
At first they wanted lots of eggs. We had one on Saturday, :( ,but that was before our nest was to our liking and it broke on the bottom of the cage. Sunday the nest finally was good enough for our eggs and so Ophie laid one on Monday.
Wednesday, Ophie laid our second good egg.
We heard Shirley and Steve talking about how it looks like the eggs are coming every other day.
We decided to keep them guessing by laying another one on Thursday...
Three good eggs, how many more will come?
Sorry about the sparse entries but WE'RE BUSY LAYING EGGS!!!!
Get back to work.

Nesting
So, Shirley gave us a nest this week. She was feeling guilty because we've been trying to build a nest for a long time and she finally gave in and let us have one. She's worried we're going to have lots and lots of babies.
We don't really like the nest. (Ophie really doesn't like it.) We like taking out the nesting material and putting it in the corner of the cage. We've been having lots of fights over where the nest should be and who should build it. (Dragon keeps stealing the nesting material out of Ophie's beak because he wants to build the nest.)
