Domnijoe - The Art Studio and Bird Herder's Residence

Going to be moving tomorrow, so I might be gone for 2 weeks while my internet is connected./set up. The birds are in their travelling cages and are going WTF? Even the dog knows something is up, as she's relegated to sleeping on the floor with me (Futon's been disassembled).

I have moved! I have unpacked! Everyone is settled in! And there was much rejoicing, LOL!

SO it's been almost 2 weeks in my new place. The birds scream every time they hear the fire trucks go by, probably because they heard it ALL THE TIME in the old place . We lived in the north end of winnipeg, which is well known for being the 'is that a gunshot, or is that a firecracker?" part of the city. So happy to be in a better part of town! Charlie's started screaming his head off every time he sees the broom being used. The same broom he's seen in the 2-3 years he's been with me. le sigh. You'd think he wouldn't scream if he saw it all the time. Nope. He's a stinker, LOL!

The one downside to the move is that Charlie's started plucking his down feathers, which he never used to do. But he's honestly happier being part of a flock and habitually rings his bell. I've even taught him how to say 'Bell'. My mom's been over a lot since the move to help me unpack and settle in and charlie drives her nuts. LOL! Charlie screams and my mom is like 'SHUT UP! '

Weeeeeee.

Redshift is so much happier being part of a flock, too, and has cozied up to the new cockatiels Moon and Chara. He's started singing again, which he never used to do after Mindwipe, his mate, died! Moon sings 'if you're happy and you know it' all the time. USually just before bed and after eating.

SO that's the update! Thought you guys wanted to know .

More bird pix! Figured out how to connect the oooooooooooooooooold (I mean 18 plus year old) digicam to the new computer and it WORKS! It's a bonus, as my camera takes MUCH better pictures than my phone.

The birds are doing great lately. Fantastic even. It's just my service dog, Winter. Either one of the birds bit her ear or she nicked it somewhere because the *&^%ing thing will NOT stop bleeding! Every time it clots, she scratches it and the thing bleeds more. I hope to get into our regular vet monday. Tuesday at latest. Every time she shakes, she makes it looks like a crime scene. I am soo tired of mopping after her, LOL! Bandages are replaced every 3 hours because she wiggles out of them.

OY VEY!

Two things. First, is Winter (dog)'s ear is healed up. I've kept a bandaid on in case it bleeds again and she decides to let loose with a shake that'll remove the scab. Little stinker.

The second is a love triangle with Redshift , Chara and Moon. Chara and Red seem to be an item, but Moon still has the hots for Chara. The three are seen sitting by eachother and Redshift and Chara are often on the bottom of the cage looking for food. If Moon gets too close, Redshift loses his mind. it's sad and comical in a way.
