Eggless

Well, Yiska was finally down to 1 egg...um...I think by Sunday......I let her keep the last egg until last night. She has been pretty good about sleeping in the cage away from the eggs so I put her inside the cage & took the last egg off the top of the cage.
This morning was "The Test" to see how this would go over. There seemed to be some initial confusion over where the egg was-- a lot of looking around the top of the cage and some chirping....but rather quickly she settled back into prematernal Yiska.
In other words she is interacting w/ her inital family again...she is talkative (meaning she chirps when I leave the room....when I am in the other room...when I come back to the room.....when I open the door to outside)......she likes her neck scratched again....she's eating and making messes again.
So yes, things are back to normal.....and I have decided that if this egg laying business happens again.....like in a year or so (NOT tomorrow) we can probably get through it as a family, again.
She keeps giving Sasha the evil eye and probably thinks she took the eggs.....because basically as siblings often do....She pretty much thinks Sasha is to blame for everything.

Things that didn't get done today:

Yiska Lays an Egg!!!

Ok..first of all for 4 yrs WE have thought Yiska is a boy...EVEN the Vet said so....so this is VERY shocking & I will be referring to her as HE (b/c it is less confusing-- for me)

So ANYWAY....today I was just minding my own business and decided to make an espresso & looked over @ Yiska's cage & noticed he was all fluffed up & sitting really low, on the top of his cage. I mean he will sit all fluffed up quite often & this is usually a good sign for birds (it means they are happy or something) but he was sitting really low which was unusual. So I decided to go over & see what was going on....I went to scratch his neck (because birds LOVE that-- especially Yiska)...it was then that he jumped up & freaked out & I discovered THE EGG!!!!

I was (still am) in COMPLETE DISBELIEF!!! I mean WTF??!!

Anyway, I finally was able to get Yiska off the top of his cage& took the egg....I felt wrong & bad.....but it's not like it was going to be fertilized or anything.....THANK GOD (1 bird is enough to clean up after).....so really I had to take it.

At first Yiska was kind of pissed but I gave him all kinds of new food & cleaned up the top of his cage so he seems happy, again. Not sure if there will be future egg laying.....I will keep you posted.

Seriously, though....OMG, REALLY??!! He might be a transsexual....My mom was encouraging by saying not everyone has a transsexual bird.....True, true.....and I do love him ALL the same...LOL

Why I Love Mr. DragonFly

Well...one reason....

This was our morning BB session.....his part being the shaded blue part

Perry Farrell

Well in case you don't remember I bought a Venus Fly Trap and named him Perry Farrell. Perry is doing very well in his new home and growing cute new little baby traps all the time......
He gets fed once a week.....at this point in the year it is usually dead flies that I bought on line that came w/ Perry Farrell.....
When The Queen came to visit this past Thurs & Friday we fed Perry Farrell.....the video is taken w/ her phone and the quality is ok...but we will use my camera next time.....
Anyway.....here is a video of Perry Farrell being fed :)
