Perched on My Shoulder and My Head — Hyogo-ku, Kobe

Categories:  >

The ones I came to care for this time are 
were at a home of two parakeets.🌵 
 
A golden-plumed conure, 
Chura-chan, twelve years old. 
 
 

 
 

And a monk parakeet, Lime-chan, 
five years old. 
 
 

​ 
 
At our meeting, I'd been told 
that Chura-chan has a friendly 
nature,🍀 
while Lime-chan is shy 
and fond of older gentlemen❤️ 
(she adores the client's father), 
or so I'd heard, but… 😁
 
On the day of care, when I opened the cage, 
Chura-chan hopped right onto my shoulder 
straight away.☺️ 
Lime-chan perched atop the refrigerator 
and watched me for a little while, but 
seeing Chura-chan, she must have decided it was safe, 
because she flew right up 
onto my head.🕊️ 
 
"I'm not your mama, 
just some lady from elsewhere, 
but are you sure it's okay?" I said to her as I worked, 
and all through my care, on my shoulder and head 
they stayed perched the whole time.🥳 
For parakeets other than the ones I keep myself 
to stay perched on me 
for such a long time is quite rare, 
so it was a truly precious experience❗ 
 
 

​ 
 
Until the next time we meet, 
don't forget about me, okay~🐦

Each in Their Own Little Spot — Chigasaki, Kanagawa

Categories:  > >

By the window on the first floor, there's Soseki-chan♪ 

 
 

 
 

Over by the kitchen, there's Beta-san♪ 

 
 

 
 

And upstairs, there's Shiki-kun♪ 

 
 

 
 

Soseki-chan sang me the loveliest songs, 

and Shiki-kun would often tilt his head and open and close his little beak — just too adorable✨️ 

 
 

 

 

 

 
 

Beta-san eats two pellets, then takes a little swim, eats two more, then another swim… I make sure he's eaten well before giving him the next two☺️ 

 
 

 
 

There was no out-of-cage time during this visit, but at our meeting, I got to watch Soseki-chan zip freely between the first and second floors at incredible speed, finally returning to the owner, 

and it made me hope that one day, I too might let them out to fly during a visit. 

I'm looking forward to the day we meet again!

Sweet, Sweet Ushimaru-chan — Chigasaki, Kanagawa

Categories:  >

On the day of our very first meeting, Ushimaru-chan perched on my shoulder the whole time, listening along to our conversation. 

 
 

 
 

On the day of care, she settled onto my shoulder again — which delighted me, of course — but then I realized I could hardly catch a glimpse of her adorable little face… 

So for the time being, I did my mopping with her still perched on my shoulder, and we gazed out the window together.☺️ 

 
 

 
 

 
 

I'd been told which toy was her favorite, 

and at last, she hopped down from my shoulder to play! 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

Even with her little eyes closed, she's just too adorable! 

 
 

 
 

As I was leaving, Ushimaru-chan treated me to the most beautiful song. 

I'm already looking forward to the day we meet again.🥰

A Sweet Little Gift — Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki

Categories:  >

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.☺️

Our Beloved Little Youngest — Chigasaki, Kanagawa

Categories:  > >

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!
