Recovering from laundry

Here is a photo of Amazon Parrots Shasta and Franchesco with their baby boy named Marty. Marty loved to hang out the nest box door and watch Mom and Dad, he thought everything was great and funny. Marty (poking out of the wooden box hole) was about 11 weeks old in this picture. Baby birds grow really fast but still need a lot of parental attention for a long time after they are fully grown. Marty was born in 2008. I want more Marty-ish baby birds.

Today I was grateful I didn't have big plans for my day. I needed to rest my back from last night's major laundry duty, takes a whole 24 hours for me to recover. I am feeling much better right now and hope that tomorrow I will be able to actually accomplish something.

Last night I found the cutest 2 minute video of a Senegal parrot doing about 20 tricks. So impressive! Now I want to teach some of my birds to do those same things. I wonder if I have the patience to do this? I wonder if my birds are up to it? I tried today to get my Meyers named Scooby-Dooby to do a somersault....he wasn't enthused.

Here is the link if you want to check out that Senegal online:

I just tried copying and pasting the above http link and it took me to the right place. Hope it works for you also.

I am grateful for clean sheets.
I am grateful for smart birds.
I am grateful for new friends.
I am grateful I found a new check book ledger at home.
