An Akward Start To Spring

Featured Replies

Well, it is finally officially spring. But of course on the first day of Spring we got 6 inches of snow (after having next to no snow all winter!) But it has melted quickly and today was nice enough that I cleaned up the smaller cage and loaded Sunshine and Mae into it and they are getting some sun on the back porch. The plan was that I would clean their giganto home with out being dive bombed by them while they are outside... but instead I'm sitting here listening to them and the free birds chirpping through the back screen.

 

It's been a rough winter for me, even though the weather's been mild. I'm ready for warm temps. I think the birds are too. I believe they will forgive me for forcing them in the tiny cage (well they acted like I was trying to get them to go into a shoebox, but it is really only Sunshine's old cage... the big spoiled babies...!)

 

I adopted a new policy for out of cage time... I just open the cage door and then go get on the computer or the DS, sitting across the room from them and ignoring them. I think it drives them nuts. (Laughing out loud). They stare at me, then they fly right at my face swooping up at the last second and looping around to do it again. A couple of days ago, they both landed on my head. Guess it is true, best to let it be THEIR Idea... (Laughing out loud).

 

Risha and her silly birds

Sounds like everyone is ready for warmer weather!

I love it when they swoop around! Boris likes to flick me all the time. I am not allowed on the computer without her first sitting on my shoulder for 5 minutes watching what I do.

we live right over here in Ohio a state over and I can related, Pretty is singing a storm up early in the AM and in the PM. :hap:, I can't wait till it is even warmer so I can take him outside supervised in his cage.

i can relate too! everytime the gang in the aviary start to feel some warm weather, here come the rain. They go from baths in the bird baths, and doing their love dances with each other, to moaping under the heat lamp, all puffed up! poor lot!

Pretty is loving his 2 plastic balls too much so I had to change them around :(Laughing out loud):
