Good night birdies! This is little Blanca's first night up on the roosting bar. Usually, after her mother Shiro jumps up onto the bar, Blanca runs around chirping in desperation until a human keeps her warm on their body or in a heated box. I should check later to make sure she doesn't fall down later when it's to dark for her to get back up. It's still cold at night, and the high-pitched chirping might keep the neighbors awake, or attract predators? or just be unhealthy for a little bird. It was kind of fun goofing off with Blanca as a accessory for the wrist, crotch, and head but three birds in the living room is enough. Two of them can't walk or get up on the roosting bar, or discourage and avoid insistent roosters so they will probably be indoor birds most nights for the rest of their lives. The third bird just walks herself into the house no her own. She's getting better about us holding her in the entrance GenKan to wipe her feet down. It will be good to have a bird that is used to being held and inside when we want to share the Silky experience with a class or some other Animal Therapy sort of event.. The former boss rooster tries get settled for the night early but takes center stage. The old boss is driven out by the new boss and has to be the last one up. At least they are all sleeping in the same night cage though. It's easy to forget a spot when you have to close up four of five places so they aren't eaten by weasels, or martens, or raccoon dogs or something at night.
