@SRSeedBurners Thanks so much! I think of GracieMae so often, and your beautiful aviary -- and yep, sometimes you just have those fids that are like Scandinavians, ones of few words. I need you to come set up a birdie cam for HRH! We really *are* lucky to have such a great Vet just right up the road. She's only about 2 miles away, it's just her in a small, country practice, and HRH loves her and never holds a grudge. She is always is happy to hop right up for her.
@Greytness She really loves that stand -- she calls it her "tree." It faces out our big southern windows where she can watch all that goes on "out there." She has a perch by the window in the kitchen were she watches the "quirrels," and one in our den where she gets to hang with "Joes." Why she puts an S on the end of his name is a mystery, but so darned sweet. So lots of roaming around the house time since she's my only fid, easy to keep track of her.
@Timbersmom Thanks! She talks up a storm all_day_long. Sometimes I tell her, "Let's have some Q U I E T time." Alas, she does not comply. hahahaha She will, however, if she is "night night," and we are being noisy, will give a loud sharp whistle and will every once in awhile tell us "too yowd!" Naturally, we hush up and say, "Sorrrrry." LOL
@neoow Awwww..., Alfie! Gosh 16 years already! It really *is* wild how we keep learning. Ever since her Vet visit, I check her new feather casings every morning and am pleased to say that after one week of medicine the new ones are all back to white and I see no signs of the black ones. Just that one little tip, had I known earlier may have let us catch this super early on.
It's great to see all of our friends here, and to have life getting back to "normal," or as normal as it can be around here. HRH is snoozing away on her perch in here with me as I type, I think she is resting a lot as her body heals and she can be so relaxed because she is well on the road to recovery. Plus it is a rainy day here today, and she is always quiet and snuggle in on rain days. Wishing everyone a great Friday Junior and hope that you slide right into the weekend and into some sunshine!
