A plethora of birds

[one_hour_phobos]

I now have 6 birds in my living room twittering and preening and looking altogether cute. My parents are leaving for Arizona tomorrow morning, so I get to birdsit. I love having so many birds, despite the noise, because it's fun to see all their different personalities and how they react to each other.

Ah, I thought Shorty and Zelda looked a little odd, but I don't know much about birds - I thought maybe they were supposed to look a bit ruffled.

Ernie and Zoe look like they consider themselves to be bird royalty, all puffed up like that. ;)

Yeah, Ernie thinks he's king of the birds. Unfortunately, that also means he's a bully, especially to timid Zelda, who never sticks up for herself. He's often pushing her off a perch he would rather be on. Zoe probably thinks she's a person, because she usually prefers the company of people, so perhaps she thinks she's better than the common bird. ;)

Birds! I love it when I get calls from people who have birds, because they're apparently often interested in the phone, and therefore noisy. Once I had a lady who just had this amazing racket going on around her for the entire call, because apparently she'd just let them out and they were singing their great glee at being OUT OF THE CAGE OMG. XD

They definitely know when you're on the phone, even if I'm making the call as opposed to receiving a call. They could be quiet all day, and as soon as I make a call and the other end picks up OMG YOU'RE TALKING TO SOMEONE AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO US!
