Masuka, our laughing thrush, has been quiet since we got her. I have heard her in the last few days whistle one note, always when I am not in the room. Well, tonight, she is whistling away with me right beside her! It is very high pitched and kind of loud, but sweet music to my ears:) She must be finally feeling at home here. The guy I got her from had never heard her make any noise in the time that he had her.
Yay! Made my night:):)

She just ate her first live mealworm a couple of days ago. Reg puts a couple in a dish for me to just add to her cage, and she was ignoring them before. Nope, I have not had my bare hands on one yet, when they happen to crawl out of the dish, I use a fishnet to get them back in..lol. what can I say, I am a little squeamish:(:eek:

Nice, Terry! I'm glad Masuka is finally adding her voice to the chorus of bird chatter going on at your place. Time to reward her with a treat! Go on, Terry! Grab one of those tasty, wriggly treats in your bare hands. You can do it! :p

Most certainly. But of course, being the consummate gentleman that I am, I would have to insist, "Ladies first!" Lol!
