Aw... I LOVED this post. Your bids are beautiful and all of them are smart. I've forgotten just how smart they are. You always hear of African Grays and other big parrots, but the little parakeets or budgies are terrific.
Well, we're geeks, so they inevitably get something geeky! Ben and I were laughing at Sir Nicholas's boofy forehead this morning (he's an English budgie) and saying how much he looked like a Klingon (with their funny foreheads), and that maybe we should have called him Worf instead! XD
Don't worry about it! I've had a lovely time looking at ponds and stuff!! And getting all enthused and imaginitive about landscaping!! XD
Poor little Pippin; I couldn't believe it when it happened. One minute Evie was on Annie, and the next... We even had the budgies covered to protect them, but Pippin found a crack in the cover and was SO desperate to see his Annie (who had just come back from camping with school.) He was clinging to the side of the cage closest to his Annie, and Evie, before we even realised she'd left Annie, had bitten Pippin's foot. I expected to see his foot hanging off, but luckily she got him mostly between the toes. So much blood...and the noise he made... D~: Every time we'd get the bleeding to stop, he'd pick at it and it would start bleeding again! We had him sitting in almost 1/4" of cornflour by the end. (it stops the bleeding) Which probably wasn't good for his lungs, but better than bleeding to death! I've since learned that SPIDERWEB is the most excellent blood-stopper, and that the birds don

*grin* The pond tour was awesome fun! LOL - yeah, it filled my head up with new ideas. :DD
Spiderweb!!! Hmm - I'll have to remember that! I'm thinking it might be difficult to find during an emergency, so maybe it's a good idea to collect some and keep it handly in a small box or something. And hopefully never need it!
