The move seems to have been accepted. I am hoping "we" have a peaceful night as there's no chance of popping back into the nest-box for a cosy snooze. Spending the whole night on a perch will be a new experience for Tom and for Gerry.

To help avoid any night-fright I have tried to position the night-light so that they can just about see their way around their new quarters. It's only a very small LED night-light similar to the ones my mother has either side of her bed so it should do the trick.

It'll be a chilly night with outside temperatures down to 4⁰C in the country-side but hopefully only as low as 7 where we are and warmer still in the aviary. I had considered putting the heating back on for them but decided the noise of a small fan-heater might be more of a problem than a nippy night.

Hezz they certainly were ready food-wise. The millet spray was stripped in an hour! They also energetically dived into a bowl of grated carrot and egg-food. A new mixture for them but they loved it.

Photos? They obliged

so tomorrow I will try to find time to transfer and upload some... promise.

When I first brought Mango home, she spent the first few nights sleeping in her little box, even though she perched up during the day.

Thanks Hezz - I didn't think of putting the hide in. As far as I know neither of them went in it.

Tonight I have put the heater back in place as it's going to be another cold one - down to 4 degrees tonight so thermostat set at 9.

Photos still in the pipeline...tired & busy today.

Does it take everyone ages to upload and then paste photos?

Here we are (at silly o'clock in the morning) another more up-to-date splash of pictures:

Oiked out of the family residence and on show:

Stealing the limelight:

Behind bars again but in our very own pad!

Not the best of photos but it shows the two of them and the different greens:
This is Tom...

And this is Gerry...

The two of us:

I think there was a technical hitch Learner but apparently they are working on getting it sorted.
