Coco was fine this morning. The sky snake is her absolute favourite place to be - high, with a great view of the budgies toing and froing and of course, an easily defensible position from which to ward off overly curious budgies I'll be honest, she had a sleepy day yesterday. I suspect that the previous two days had taken a toll on her energy reserves. She still fed and watered fine, and flew a little bit so I feel there's nothing at all to worry about. Today will be interesting, if she feels more energetic.

It's such early days yet and Coco has to overcome the months of inactivity she suffered. The budgies running and flying around must seem like a blur to her. She is clearly interested in the other birbs. My guess is it's just a matter of time.

Finrod comes a-callin' Coco calculating the angles: Finarfin was asked to leave the Herb Jungle by Chocobo, for reasons: Handsome Whistle: "That Finrod chappie is still lurking ..."

"I'm gonna do it." "I'm really gonna do it." "I did it." Coco was confused because she thought Loric &Eva are an item, not Loric & Boba. Yes, Coco, we are all confused on that score. Group photo time!

It's such an exciting adventure for Coco. I can understand you not wanting to shut her in too early. When Dexter was little I had to put him back in the cage whenever I was going out he became more and more difficult to get back in the cage in and would avoid me and the cage in protest.

Coco is just going to have to meet me half-way on the caging issue. If she goes into her cage after 4pm, I am going to shut the door to keep her there. She's snoozing again right now and I think it's because she can't sleep properly on the sky snake - because I am up and about, past her bed time and she is disturbed by that.

Group photo time! Loz, great action shots of Coco! Reminds me of standing on the edge of the pool in winter training, gathering strength knowing there was half an inch of ice on the water .... Brill group shot also!

Has Coco shown any interest in going in the other cages?

Coco was displaying Exhibition budgie levels of calculation and measurement there At least all the delaying and such gave me a chance to set up for the shot. I just wish it had been brighter so that that focus could have been sharper. I need to knock through another window in the lounge ...

Has Coco shown any interest in going in the other cages? Excellent question, Criswell. No interest in the slightest in the other cages, the Herb Jungle or the Forage Gyms. She's literally accessed her cage, the sky snakes (and the small swing next to them) and a few impromptu perching points throughout the room. I suspect she needs more confidence before she'll start exploring more widely.

Chocobo asked me whether it was time to set up the camera tripod but I told her, Not today: I was very pleased to get a pic of Coco & Chocobo together: Maddy Prior thought she should be part of the moment: And then for some reason, Coco's apartment became a Place of Interest:

I think I've blown it as regards getting Coco to bed tonight: Loric the little tinker was running around inside Coco's apartment. He eventually left and Coco went inside to feed. I left her to it for a few moments then got distracted with something and the next thing I knew, she was all done and out on the sky snake again. I doubt I'll get a chance to put her to bed now!

Is she managing to sleep any better up on the sky snake now, or is she still tired? Has she started to explore the room now or is she happy to watch the goings on from the sky snake?
Where does Chocobo sleep these day? Does she still favour the bookcase?
