The many and various ways I pass the time now has a new addition. Usually it involves drinking coffee whilst sitting at a computer keeping in touch with chums, or sipping wine sitting on our tiny terrace catching the sun, and wondering what else I can do to avoid any cleaning or tidying or putting away of stuff and things that aren't even MINE.

Hari OM OOHhhh great piccies!! You could enter these on the Less Speak More Peek linky I just set up over at my place. You'll like the piccies there anyway I'm sure.
Re the earlier comments - yes! The pet shop owner was actually also the breeder so he was a tad miffed when I told him the discovery!! Actually, Saff was always the independent, modern female sort and Em much more introverted and dependent. So if Saff had gone first it might have been a different matter... as it was, I think she rather enjoyed the cage to herself during the "retirement" phase - $-}
You are so right, Pearl. They puff themselves up and strut about in a pompous fashon, and then the next moment they are flitting and spinning like a trapeze artist or acrobat. They are some of Nature's clowns, for sure.
That's why I give them dignified but silly names, I guess. But for Pearl, of course. That is a name no-one could snort or scoff at.
Hari OM

Poor old Em, he was a bit hen-pecked! xx
Oh, I love these birds. They always strike me as a dignified kind of silly...
