Recent Project

I have been trying various ways to keep Mocha in the patio area (she has only run off once but didn't get too far; don't want to take that chance again). I also got tired of hurdling my makeshift fence and nearly falling on my face. So I created a fence and gate with already used lattice. It definitely is an amature job but after working on it for two weekends, an accomplishment. It needs a little more work but that will have to wait. I have other projects that have been put on hold.

After Bath Wrap

Last Sunday I gave Mocha a bath. Rather than drying her with the hair dryer I wrapped her in a towel and she was dry in a about ten minutes. Because I had not washed her bedding I used the towel for her bed.

bye bye birdie

I am sad to anounce that my other bird has died. I had come home briefly during my hair coloring (goop still in my hair) to let Mocha to take care of business, only to discover that my bird was laying at the bottom of the cage. I had to get back to the salon so I didn't have time to be too sad about it. All I had time to do was remove her from the cage, put her in the dumpster (i know not quite a proper burial), put the cage outside.
As I cleaned the cage (when I returned from the salon), I was thinking that I hadn't heard her chirp for a while and wondered how long she had been "gone." She had food and some water, though a little dirty. Though quiet, I'm pretty sure she was fine the night before. Anyway no more birds for a while.
