[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 153228, member: 1991"] G'day, everybody. Sharon/Wiped, your birthday dinner last night sounds lovely. And a binge once a year - don't stress. All you need to do is just go back to where you were and forget the guilts. It was your birthday! Sharon/LDM, sounds like your hot tub will be really tropical, with the trees around it. I'd love to do that but we have very large, aggressive mosquitoes here. One landed at Mascot Airport an they pumped 2000 litres of Avgas into it before they realised... Today was a relaxing day for us. difficult child 3 did finish off his school maths work (at last!) and had his new baby budgie Lucky sitting on his shoulder just about all day. By mid-afternoon Lucky decided to test his wings - not a good idea, since the pet shop clipped him aggressively, and he can only flutter a couple of metres. He crashed into the wall and has damaged his beak (I think he'll be OK) so I've been searching websites to find more information. Looks like tomorrow difficult child 3 & I will be building some new perches and maybe a mini-playground for Lucky and Daisy, our older budgie. Both of them seem interested in the wild parrots (Rainbow Lorikeets) constantly outside our house - they both answer them when they hear them. Daisy's not too sure about Lucky - she will perch about 6" away from him but otherwise tends to warn him to keep his distance. She's been on her own for almost a year, when her partner died (flu). And now she's a bit crotchetty. Lucky, on the other hand - difficult child 3 had him wrapped in a towel when we got home from mother in law's. After Lucky broke off a small piece of his overgrown beak, it bled a little so difficult child 3 tried to clean him with a damp corner of a tissue, moistened in last night's bath. But Lucky decided to flap into the bath and when difficult child 3 tried to fish him out, fell in again. So we saw a huge bundle of towel, with a little budgie head poking out the top. I'll have to explain to difficult child 3 that budgies often enjoy bathing. All the info I've found on taming budgies says to take it slow and steady. Oops. We didn't do that. But I don't think it matters, because we now have a budgie that seems happy to spend an entire day snuggled on difficult child 3's shoulder, or tucked into his forearm watching TV. I think they've bonded... Enjoy your Saturday everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
