It isn't Isabeau's Official Hatch Day but she told me that she, too, is fluffy.

David was reading out a section from his book yesterday and it got my attention when he said " ....... Prothall .........Mhoram......" and I said "I know those names!" and explained where from. He's reading Lord Foul's Bane And Happy Hatch Day to Hector too

He's reading Lord Foul's Bane And Happy Hatch Day to Hector too Marvellous! I love Lord Foul's Bane. Magical, disturbing, infuriating and with moments of pure beauty. Mhoram is one of my very favourite characters in fiction. Just wait 'til you learn what Loric's "surname" is

I think I just witnessed the end of an era.
Chocobo was trying to have a bath in the fountain and had chased off Mhoram, Herman & Finarfin. Unusually, Eeyore joined Chocobo and seemed to be enjoying the shower. Chocobo made a half-hearted lunge at Eeyore but not really at him, she missed by quite a margin and it looked a deliberate miss, more of a gesture. "Cheeky!", I thought.
Next thing I knew, Eeyore was right in Chocobo's face, demanding showers and Chocobo footed him a couple of times. Eeyore, who has never had to stand up to Chocobo as she has never been anything but utterly respectful towards him, had no reply to this and flew away.
I think that Eeyore is no longer a Chocobo-boss. I hope she doesn't bear him the same sort of grudge she has for Herman. Eeyore isn't nearly as quick & mobile as Herman is and he'll not be able to dodge her like Herman does.
I shall have to be watchful.

Elsewhere, we have discussed faculties provided for our flocks that may or may not ever get used by our birbs ( Azalea ) The rope swing in the following pics was unused for months and months before the budgies accepted that it was not in fact a consumer of budgies. Since then, it's a regular meeting place and social hub. Whistle, Mhoram & Prothall stop for a conference: It must have been a dull meeting as Mhoram & Prothall soon fell asleep, leaving Whistle to keep watch: Whistle of course fell asleep: Mhoram woke up when it was time for his watch:

Today Kona stared at the hanging rope and tried perching on it. It moved as he landed, and he immediately flew off.
I saw a Budgie who looked like Whistle at a pet store today! And the Budgies were on sale for "buy one, get one half price". Of course I was tempted to "rescue" two more. My husband had to gently steer me away.

I have to avoid any pet store with birds for sale these days. I just can't.

Quincy & Gurgeh helped with the veggies this morning: Chocobo & Gurgeh are in the kitchen now tiding up. Bless them.

Coco & Quincy winding down in the evening: Today, a headless Isabeau was found in a food bowl. Minutes later, the body of Isabeau had vanished completely. The Budgie Sheriff's Office is baffled. When I came back from shopping, I was greeted by this: I think Quincy is starting to get used to Coco and her attempts to befriend her. I hope so. I often see them together now.
