Cute cockatiel bath antics

Yes, I know I'm a bad bad blogger, I've been neglecting my posting duties this week. Which should tell you just how boring things are at the moment *lol*.

In an effort to break up the aforementioned boredom, here are some cute vidoes I took today of my female cockatiel Cuba (yes it's as weird as it sounds) getting a mist bath.

Actually I should explain this further in the first two videos she thinks she's getting a bath (being sprayed with water) but all I'm doing is blowing air on her feathers *lol*.

Sometimes she's better then a t.v. :D.

No worries though she did get her bath in the end;).

Happily taking a nap.

Cuba the cockatiel gets squeaky clean

I took these videos last weekend and felt like sharing. My birdie being her cute little self :).

Little bitty pretty one

Things are in a holding pattern in terms of life stuff at the moment. Enjoy some more pics of my lovable bird. It's been a while since I've shared some new ones.

Happy after a bath

I finally managed to snap a pic of Cuba doing his bat impression. Cute right?

Looking up at my camera :D

My lovely cockatiel

Haven't had much to write about lately as I've previously mentioned, not a lot going on at the moment.

So instead of me blabbering on about nothing enjoy some new (high quality) pics of my lovable and sometimes irritating lol cockatiel Cuba.

Oh, and small note despite how big he may appear in some of these pics, he's actually much smaller these were shot from very close-up.

In this photo you can see his lovely nails and yes they feel as sharp as they look

It's been a long time since I've talked about my lovely little pet so I thought I would do a little update. Plus with things being so dull lightly (due to the continued t.v. strike and being so close to Christmas) I have nothing else to talk about lol.

So, let's see what can I tell you, well Cuba is still acting like the king of the castle, especially when it comes to a particular dvd shelf on my desk. He will spend endless hours sitting on top napping and prining.

Actually his favourite place to nap is on the head of one of my beanie babies LOL, right next to the speaker.


I've discovered he loves to groove to certain types of music, so far it's Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion and James Blunt. Sometimes he'll put his little head right next to the speaker ( yep he's got the adorable thing down pat).

As for his behavior with humans well, he still won't let me pet him much, but I've made huge progress in the trust department and can finally get him to step on to my hand and take him out of the cage without too much hastle.

Every once in a while he can be a sweet little charmer towards me, I've managed to capture some pics as proof so enjoy;).

Doing some stretches

Pictures, pictures, pictures

Well, I finally developed some of the photos that have been sitting in my camera for at least a year lol, (and yes I know there are digital cameras now).

I'm hoping to get my hands on one of those at some point in the very near future. The photos turned out pretty decent for once, so I decided to share some of my faves :

I'm not really sure what he's doing here but it made me laugh
