Or blueelephant and Ira you can both start wearing reading glasses to give them another place to land!

That's hilarious! Maybe I'll get some fake glasses as eye protection!

Buddy used to land on the rims of my reading glasses and then preen my eyebrows. Then he'd give my eyelids littles kisses. Unfortunately, my eyelids are very sensitive and it felt like little bee stings so I had to train him to not land on my glasses. Now he lands on my finger and kisses my thumbnail. Then he leans forward and up so I take him up to my glasses and he happily kisses the rims and chews on them while I hold him up. Yes, my glasses are another toy to him.

Jasper likes to get up close to my face but hasn’t tried to eat my glasses yet. She’s tried to eat every other part of me though, so it’s probably just a matter of time.

Max is fascinated when I wear glasses for the computer. His nails are sharp, as on the odd occasion, he clump up my face

Gwen has tapped at OH's glasses.
Poor girl, we're on to a run of 4 days of work for me, so she only gets to see OH briefly in the morning and evening for uncovering and covering. Definitely going to have to hope that 12 hours of sleep is enough once she's calmed and met the boys, or else I'll not get to see her much except days off. She is still feeding herself though, a definite plus to regular seed is being able to note the presence of husks.

Yay to the husks. She’ll be okay, I’m sure. Can you leave the radio on for her? She must be almost halfway through her quarantine period now. She’ll soon be in the same room as the boys.

I would if I owned a radio. 😆 Suppose I could leave my phone at home and tell OH to put Spotify on for her.
She'll be into the two week mark on Thursday. With all the worries over her eating and then having to give the boys meds the first couple of weeks have flown past. Munchy has his last dose tonight. Although I do hope I don't have to give a second round of medication when I get the boys swabbed on Friday, as much as it passes the days.
Gwen's such a fuss pot when we are with her. She was preening on Sunday and I moved a finger near her and she fluffed up her head feathers. It ended up with me using all 4 fingertips and thumb to scritch her entire head, so she was clinging tight to OH's finger to balance, and then I'd stop and she'd scratch both sides of her head, and then promptly press her face against my hand for more.

So day off on Friday, and then I'm on annual leave next week, so I'll be able to spend the whole week with her to keep her company, so that will take care of week 3 and the start of week 4 of quarantine.
Then it's just a case of making sure the boys are all better before moving Gwen up.

Aww love she enjoyed scratching. Do you have an Alexa or google?
