[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 151465, member: 1991"] My good news - I did some shopping with difficult child 3 today and there were some good specials at the butcher. We had a roast for dinner plus a big pot of everyone's favourite spinach (everyone except difficult child 3). I steam it, drain it, squeeze lemon juice through it and throw in a lot of grated cheddar to melt through the hot spinach. Any leftovers (I DID cook an entire bunch - but spinach was on special too) gets used in a spanakopita. Also - we bought another baby budgie today at the pet shop. So Daisy will now have a young friend. All we can hope is that we now have one of each sex. difficult child 3 found a good website for trying to work out which sex they are: [url]http://devvle.com/budgiegender.html[/url] This one's a lutino, almost totally yellow and with red eyes like two tiny rubies. difficult child 3 has called it "Lucky". Because it's so young I'm hoping we can train it to be a bit tamer than Daisy. Tomorrow we take the cover off Lucky's cage and let Daisy have a good look at him. She's been missing a friend ever since our other budgie died last winter (caught flu from difficult child 1). The previous one was a lutino as well. Marg [/QUOTE]
