I was watching the flock who are all in the same aviary at this time currently snoozing but earlier they were all in a state of flux, hopping from perch to perch to cage bars to food bowls, and endless interplay of movement. It was mesmerising and it triggered an obscure memory - where had I seen something similar in the past? Garden of Earthly Delights - ContemporaryI cannot tell you how many hours I've lost watching that video but I have something better now

Well ... After a late afternoon of bad temper and punch-ups where the only flock members not to get involved were Patch and Brown Jenkin, they've all gone to bed.
In Chocobo's aviary.
Which has the least number of perches and food bowls.
I foresee no difficulties at all *cough*

Oh dear!!
What time do they get covered up?
Mine go to bed quite late and then have a few naps during the day.

I give it about half an hour after it gets dark and then close things up. Tonight, I've just covered them up about five minutes ago.
They have a late morning nap and a mid afternoon nap, usually. They have pretty regular habits.

Wow, that is early. Do they get up very early? I give it about half an hour after it gets dark and then close things up. Tonight, I've just covered them up about five minutes ago. They have a late morning nap and a mid afternoon nap, usually. They have pretty regular habits.

They don't really surface until it gets light outside but there's signs of activity around 0730.
I should mention, the two junior budgies nap on and off throughout the day. Fending off the attentions of over-indulgent seniors wears them out!

The latest news from the set of the cult soap opera hit, Sussexenders. These are spy photos so not the best quality but this is breaking news ... Mt Hibs caught making time with Patch Eeyore found interrogating Patch as to what is actually going on Squeak, the previous object of Hibs' obsession, was unavailable for comment but an insider has claimed, "He's relieved". Chocobo, when asked, answered archly, "Kweh kweh", which I believe is chocobo for either "No Comment" or "Budgies, whatcha gonna do?".. More in this story as it unfolds.

Eeyore and Patch, smooching . Squeak likes spinach. A family portrait. I wasn't quick enough to make a movie of it where you could have seen that Squeak was swinging madly, horizontal to horizontal. He seemed to be doing it deliberately, too.

They've taken over my life, in the best way possible. Endless entertainment and fun.

Peaceful foraging. A rare moment of relaxation "I believe I said, 'No photography!'" "Give me that camera!"

Don't mess with Brown Jenkin!! He's fierce and frightening, like his fictional counterpart! Disclaimer: he's actually very cute and sweet

Brown Jenkin looks like a little sweetie. I love gerbils.
