The moment I opened the front door, 

a clear, gentle voice welcomed me in… 

Meet Re-chan — or Lemon Cream-kun — 

a two-year-old cockatiel.✨ 

Partway through my visit, 

I stepped out for just a moment to refresh his water 

and from the other room, 

I heard the sweetest little voice calling after me 

"Heeeey, where are you goooing?" His sweet little call-out melted my heart. 

"Re-chan, I'll be right back!" 

I called back, my heart already full. 

And yes — I may have hurried back 

just a little faster than usual. 

And then, to my delight, 

he sang me the loveliest little song.😭😭♬ 

Re-chan, thank you for such a beautiful gift.✨ 

What a wonderfully expressive little soul he is 

full of personality and charm.🥰 

A heartfelt thank you to his family as well, for the loving care notes they prepared for us. 

Even now, whenever I think of Re-chan's little song, I can't help but smile. What a warm, gentle gift to carry home.☺️

Today, let me introduce the adorable little youngest member of a family of rabbits and birds. 

This is Niki-chan, a stunning grey-and-white Cockatiel! 

At just 11 months old, she's such a fresh-faced little lady♡ 

And Niki-chan? Oh, she isn't just beautiful… 

She is one wonderfully entertaining little character! 

When she comes out of her cage, she struts around like she owns the place — eyeing her older sisters' and brothers' food, sneaking little nibbles of the rabbit's toppings! Haha. 

She'll happily hop onto my shoulder or back — so unbelievably cute — but the moment I speak to her, she gives me THIS face! Haha. 

That expression isn't a threat, by the way — 

apparently she gives this same look to her beloved family too. 

It's a photo you can't help but look at again and again. 

And here it is up close ↓↓↓ 

I'm told she also eats with grand, dramatic flair, flinging food about, 

and her family laughs, "Niki-chan, you're supposed to be a girl, aren't you?!"⭐ 

What an utterly adorable little youngest, our Niki-chan! 

Keep bringing those smiles to your family, sweet girl! 

Now, let me share a little update on the senior members of the family too! 

Maron-chan, the Lionhead Dwarf rabbit. 

She's turned 11 years old now! As adorable as ever. 

Mashu-chan, the Lionhead rabbit. 

That fluffy "mom cut" hairstyle suits her so beautifully.⭐ 

Lychee-kun, the Pacific Parrotlet. 

Still the biggest mama's boy, as always. 

The angle in this photo makes him look so wonderfully round — utterly irresistible! 

Chai-chan, our senior Cockatiel. 

She usually gives me a clear "please don't bother me" attitude… 

but the moment I put food in her bowl, she perks up just a little — and that's one of the small joys of caring for her♬ 

And last but not least — the "Karupisu Brothers" (named after the beloved Japanese milky drink), 

Karu-kun the Budgerigar and Peace-kun the Pearly Parakeet. 

They've been getting just a little bit plump, 

and word is they're on a serious diet right now. 

How are these two doing around the tummy area, would you say? 

Karu-kun 

Peace-kun 

Each one with their own delightful personality, and each one adorable in their own way. 

I'm already looking forward to seeing everyone again! 

Thank you so very much!

These two Somali brothers? Their mom actually chose them for their dashing good looks.🐱🐱 

And what handsome boys they truly are.💖 

What's more, the two of them are handsome in completely different ways!✨ 

Which type is your favorite, would you say?😁 

Entry No. 1 — 

Yuzuki-kun!🐱 

Yuzuki-kun has the most noble, dignified face.☺️ 

A bit on the shy side, this stoic-looking gentleman.😳 

At first, he watched me from a careful distance, sizing me up.🙃 

But once he warms up — oh, the sweetness comes flowing out!😆🎶 

Head-bumps, soft purrs, even climbing right up onto my lap for cuddles. So precious.👏 

That gap between his cautious cool side and his affectionate sweet side — it's just irresistibly charming. That's our Yuzuki-kun.✨💕 

Entry No. 2 — 

Asahi-kun!🐱 

Asahi-kun has a sleek, refined look — but with the gentlest expression.☺️ 

Friendly from the very first meeting, coming over for snuggles right away.👍 

When I arrive, he's always waiting right by the door to greet me.🎶 

And when this big handsome boy nuzzles you — I simply cannot resist!😆💖 

He's also got a cheeky side, sneaking in to swipe a bite of Yuzuki-kun's food now and then!😉 

Two completely different personalities, and what a joy it was caring for them both.😍 

I really hope to get to spend time with these two handsome boys again someday.🥰

This is Yoru-kun. 

A true cuddle bug at heart.😊 

Here he is, mid-conversation with his signature long, drawn-out meows.😊 

His chatter is quite one of a kind.✨ 

And that, right there, is what makes him utterly irresistible.✨ 

At first, I wondered for a moment if he might be upset — but then came the most enthusiastic head-bumps and gentle paw-taps. Cuddle-bug mode: fully activated!🙌 

Sweet, snuggly Yoru-kun. 

Thank you for showing me that adorable little face of yours.😊 

I'm already looking forward to seeing you again.💕

This time, I had the pleasure of caring for Sumomo-chan, a beautiful Minuet. 

A stunning beauty with the looks of a fashion model.✨ 

And Sumomo-chan's mastery of being tsundere — that perfect dance between aloof and affectionate — is simply something to behold.🌟 

I've cared for her several times now, and every single visit, I find myself completely swept up in her tsundere charm.😍 

One moment, she'll come right over and flop down beside me — a long, luxurious stretch and a soft little roll — showing me her most unguarded, trusting side. 

A cuteness beyond words. I was completely smitten.😍 

And then — off she'd go, vanishing under the bed. No toy, no trick, nothing could coax her out.😅 

With that prim little expression, she'd stay perfectly still, like a beautiful little plush toy. 

And now — Sumomo-chan in "Let's play ♪" mode! 

From behind the mirror, she'd lock onto her toy with the sharpest, most focused gaze.👀✨ 

And even though it was only the handle of the toy, she just couldn't help reaching out a paw! 

Next, it was my turn to invite her — "Let's play ♪" 

Not really in the mood, but still humoring me with a play session… 

"Well, if I must," she seemed to sigh, joining in anyway.🐾 

Thank you, Sumomo-chan, for playing with me!☺️ 

And just like that, this sitter has fallen deep into Sumomo-chan's adorable tsundere spell.

This time, I had the pleasure of caring for Choco-mi-chan over two days — and it was our very first time meeting. 

Even during our Meet & Greet, Choco-mi-chan was hiding away in her favorite spot behind the microwave — such a sweet, shy little girl.🐱🧡 

On day one, true to form, she stayed tucked behind the microwave, watching me carefully from her safe spot… 

Day two started the same way — peeking out from behind the microwave — but little by little, she began to come out.😽 

And once she came out, she must have remembered me — because to my delight, Choco-mi-chan walked right over and even let me give her some gentle pets!😻 

And for our farewell, she settled into her usual cool-cat spot to see me off.😎 

Such a sweet and well-behaved little girl, holding down the fort so beautifully — that's our Choco-mi-chan.🐱🧡 

I'm already looking forward to seeing her again.🥰
