The birds (and cats)

So the budgees. I’ve mentioned them a few times before. They are still alive and well, well, Mojo maybe needs to lose some weight but apart from that they are happy.

Mojo

This is Mojo. Despite being bigger than Blobette he still manages to get pushed around. I still haven’t worked out how he’s bigger because Blobette stops him eating all the time. Not because blobette wants food he just doesn’t like the thought of mojo eating.

Anyway, the point of this post. On Monday I introduced greens for the first time, well, properly. Last time they freaked out and didn’t go near it, Now for the first time ever they are eating them.

It took a good two days before they were confident enough to start investigating. Blobette first and then Mojo. Then they got over confident and started trying to flip the tub with greens over. I still haven’t worked out why. I change it every morning, they have become accustomed to the process. Sat, staring at me till I put them in.

And that’s the big news. Well, for me, for everyone else that’s probably not a big deal. The next step is to get them out of the cage more. I leave it open up top every day or so for a few hours. They have started to sit on the top but they don’t really stray too far from there.

Blobette

Both of them keep me company though, someone to talk to and look after. I am entertaining the idea of getting a cat but I’m not sure where or what type of cat to get. I still have main coon ambitions but they require a lot of care. I’d be happy with an older cat that just wants to stay indoors and be doted on. You know, give them a few good years before they die of old age. So if anyone knows of anyone looking to rehome or has kittens then please let me know.

I would love a dog again but it would require me to go outside to walk them which just isn’t possible at this moment in time. The stroke numbness frikking FND crap means I can’t really walk very far. Plus I have to walk with two walking sticks to get about so trying to hold a lead or even poo pick would be quite difficult. Maybe one day. I’ll keep pushing.

Hmm. Back to watching Project Zomboid play throughs.
