Iris is always watching me, making sure I don't get too close. Funnily enough though, she is the easiest to get in her cage in the evening. Once I have got her in I can get Billy, Colin and Daisy in now too. No grabbing necessary. I'm watching you! |

That's so funny! She does look like she's saying "I've got my eye on you so don't try anything".

Gorgeous. Does she go on the taxi stick? Oh no, the little ones (Iris, Colin, Billy and Daisy) are scared of the Taxi Stick, it may as well be a snake! They'll fly round and round the room squawking if I even slightly raise it above waist height. I "Usher" them in with my hand.. yeah I know - weird huh? 2 minutes worth of come on <insert name here> time to go in for bed and when they do they get praised. Sometimes they even go in on their own, usually in the same order - Iris, Billy, Daisy, Colin. But if Billy doesn't go in immediately after Iris, he can sometimes get caught in a cycle of flying round and round with his mate Colin and that can be frustrating!! |

Taxi for Blithe, Bertie and Lemon, Usher in George and Lucy with the stick. |

My file in one by one, from the top of the cage they toddle down onto the clothes airer and in they hop, they form an orderly queue |

It's funny how they stick to the same order and sequence. Willow follows the same going to bed moves each night - perch 1, perch 2, cuttlefish (handy improvised perch), perch 3 and finally favourite swing. Always reminds me of Professor Yaffle coming down from his pile of books in the intro to Bagpuss.
