I had a special time this morning with two of my birds and two of my daughters.
They are all Jenday Conyers. Even though its fast Sunday I still have to eat a little something in order to take my morning meds. So this morning to keep it simple I had made a plain peanut butter sandwich.
I heard some noise coming from the room where the birds were. Holding the sandwich behind me I slowly opened the door to see if they were all right. I found Hermione on the floor, and Kiwi on top of Hermine's cage. I quickly picked up Hermione and returned her to the top of her cage and tried to get Kiwi. How ever Kiwi doesn't like hands, but slowly she allowed me to put her on her cage. By this time Jenny was asking for a little attention. I remembered I was holding a peanut butter sandwich behind my back and thought that maybe they would like a bite. Hand feeding four funny birds is quite a treat...
Hermione, prefers to be on top of her cage, at the back. Will not eat anything she does not know, unless Jenny eats it first.
Jenny, who prefers to be inside the cage, is a little picky about eating something new, and often will move her mouth up and down pretending to you that she has taken a bite of what had been offered to her.
Kiwi, is quite abit like Hermione, likes to be out, little more aggressive, doesn't like hands, and is extremely intelligent. Shy about trying any thing new.
Aussie, Very gentle, Likes to be in the cage more, and likes everything.
So here is four different personality's, and a peanut butter sandwich.
Jenny had eaten a couple of bites, but when she got peanut butter stuck in her beak, most of the time was spent in licking it off.
Harmonia shy, but kept running back and fourth across the top of the cage to get small bites.
Kiwi would take a bite now and then, she didn't know what to make of the sandwich. You could tell she really wanted more, but her eyes got in the way of coming for more.
Aussie ate as much of the sandwich as her beak would hold, and loved it.
I hadn't intended to spend time with them this busy morning, but I am glad that I did. I will have some fun memories to remember....
But doesn't it always seem to happen that way...

i like your snowman clock. very cute.
that sounds just like aussie too. Don't ever take a cookie in there to share. She knows just how to take a bite without breaking anything off, so she'll get the whole thing! :) It's funny that Kiwi is so picky for you. with me, she usually would only sit on the door, and never on the roof-top.
