There is something really cute about all these greens together I agree!

Finrod gave me a scare last night.
Shortly before bedtime, someone went clattering to the floor. When I investigated, Finrod was under the cage, on the shelf bit. I left him for a bit to recover. When I grew concerned that he was still there, I approached him again - he flew off and onto one of the external perches so I again left him, a little relieved. A bit later it was bedtime and all the budgies were in the cages except for my boy. I saw that he seemed to be breathing quickly and he seemed out of sorts. Worse, I was able to scoop him up (he never allows that) and place him on a perch next to his friend Hector. I suppose ten minutes later, there was a very minor commotion in the cage underneath the night-time cover and Finrod was on the deck. He soon climbed up the side of the cage though and all was quiet. Some time after 2am this morning I woke up, worried about Finrod. Sleep wouldn't come so I looked up Twitter on my phone. Really, really bad mistake, in view of the news from Butler, Pennsylvania (I'll speak no more of that). Sleep was a long time coming.
This morning, Finrod seems OK. He was sitting with Eeyore at uncovering time and has been out & about. I have to watch him though as I am still worried.

And just now, someone had a controlled landing down the back of the table in the lounge.
I watched as Eeyore climbed up the laptop cables and onto the table. He peeked around from behind the laptop screen - I wish I'd had my camera for that, he looked adorable. He then took his usual route - across the table, hop onto my knee, cross my lap, onto the other knee and then a short flight-hop to the Forage Gym. I love the way he trusts me enough to use me as a thoroughfare to where he is going.

I hope Finrod will be okay.
Yes, the news was a bit shocking last night (talking American politics)

Isabeau's turn to vacuum: The first budgies to use the new window perches - Mhoram and then Gurgeh: Loric had a close look but couldn't figure out how to land on them. Silly boy.

The novelty slippers I ordered finally arrived: Prothall, you're facing the wrong way! Half the time I want to use my keyboard, Quincy hops down off of my shoulder and walks all over it. I believe she's actually a See-A-Tea.

Not sure why that most intelligent of birds the crow is grouped into "murders", the term "parliament" seems much more fitting, but a group of budgies is much more aptly named a "chatter", which seems most fitting for Loz's Mob, Loz most generously taking the term chatter also to be a responsibility to inform; and a chatter of 18 and growing is likely to maintain the budgie as the World's most popular pet after dogs and cats .......
