Apple Bath

Okay, there's a funny story to this one. Yesterday was very hot, so I thought to cut up some Granny Smith Apple I kept in the fridge for Little Miss Stevie and put it into a glass dish. The apple is skinned and placed in there and I took it over, let her out and put a piece on top of the cage - easily done. Well, she got bored with the first piece, so I replaced it with a second piece while holding the dish. Well, she saw the dish full of apple pieces and gave it *that look* of oooh, what's this? I held it closer thinking she was going to pick a piece out for herself. Instead, she jumped straight in, fluffed up and began rubbing herself up against all the other pieces of cool apple! OMG! Talk about hilarious! I picked her up and and put her back on the cage, but she jumped straight back in! I laughed so hard, it was difficult to get her out again... then I ran and got her bath full of water and Little Miss Stevie took a proper bath.

This photo was the result of her taking a bath and finally standing next to her snack. :D

But I think it was because the apple was cold that she jumped in! :P

I love that look in her eye as if to say, "I had to go through all that for you to get a bath for me -about time, I was soooo sticky". :)

It was a hilariously funny afternoon for Little Miss Stevie... she was a right character that day! :D

This is a great picture. I grew up with birds and I had one parakeet with similar colorings as yours. Your picture brings back good memories. His name was Flappy and he loved parsley. Again, great photo.

[Lynda Parker]

I tried parsley out on Stevie, but she found it too strong. So, now I feed her baby spinach and she loves it as much as I do... getting impatient enough to nip at my knuckles when I'm not fast enough to get it wrapped between the bars of the cage... cheeky bird. :P

[Rachel Salaiz]

aw, my birdies loved spinach too. LOVED it. :)
And broccoli! But one of my birds would just rip the broccoli off and throw it at my other bird, haha. aw, I miss my birdies.

Hahahaha! Stevie's such a cutie! :D
Parakeets are definitely the best!
