Well, here's one from a little earlier in the day. Henry will come in, and look for Eliza in the Super-Secret-Caiques-Only pillow fort. When he realizes where she is, he makes an unauthorized wing-grab. It didn't go over well...

There is another Labor Day video of a somersault-a-thon in which they both tumbled under the love seat. After videoing an empty floor for a minute, I shut down the camera and just waited for them to roll out again.

Which they did.

Eventually...

You are very welcome. Believe me, I think they're well aware of how adorable they are: it's their defense when I catch them re-arranging the coffee table!

"Super-Secret-Caiques-Only pillow fort" We've got a few places like that too.. I love the look of the WBC as she stretches her head up as if to say "So what cha gonna do about it?" Priceless!! Thanx for sharing, normally by the time I stop laughing enough to think about getting a camera, it's done!

You're welcome, sir--glad you enjoyed them. And yes--most of the time I miss the fun stuff because I'm just dying with laughter. In this case, I had been extremely busy Thursday through Sunday, so my plan for Labor Day was to be a complete slug (set achievable goals, I always say!). So I just hung out on the couch, and they played and played.

The other reason I usually miss stuff with the camera is due to a fact that any caique owner already knows. A caique's biggest fear isn't predators. It isn't starving to death. No, the biggest fear a caique faces is the horrifying realization that someone just possibly might be having more fun than they are. So the second I get the camera out and start fiddling with it, Eliza and Henry are usually all over me in a second. In this case, they had already been playing for hours--I think they thought I was still napping!
:D
