Excited about cherries

[Azzie]

Here in the Southern hemisphere, summer is well and truly on its way, and that of course means it's cherry season!!!

 

I bought the first cherries of the season, at an exorbitant price, to give to my fids. The keets were mega-excited and tweetered and chirped all over them before sucking all the juice out.

 

Cleo could barely contain herself. I have never seen her pupils go so small! Her breast feathers were quivering and her chest shaking so hard it was making the foot holding the cherry shake with excitement. She kept begging for more, but I stopped giving them after 4. It was a real joy to watch and hear her eat them. She was positively smacking and chomping, and lapping the juice out of it with that black tongue. I have a few more tucked away for the fids later.

 

Gah I love these animals!!!

A picture would have been worth a thousand words, next time you feed the cherries to the fids capture one or two for us to enjoy them enjoying their fruits.
