The birds were out early last evening. Then, they started calling for their dinner. So, I brought it to them and they chowed down from the bowl on the bottom of the cage.
As they finished, I turned off the light over their cage and went over to talk to them about what a good day we had had. Each of them went up to his/her favorite high perch or swing and started beak grinding, while looking at me. I sang them a little song and went to get their cover. They can definitely see me getting the cover and unfolding it as I get ready to cover them.
I felt like I was tucking little kids in to bed. They seem to really know their daily routines and like them.
I feel like they are happy little birdies, and it makes me happy.

That is what mine kind of do. If I have fed them their seeds already and leave for a few minutes, they all stretch to get ready for bed, it's really cute lol

Diana, this post was so tender that it brought real tears to my eyes. I believe that's the thing I miss most about Mistletoe - when he would grind his beak. I knew he was content, happy. I pray he is happy now. His daddy says he is, but I hope he really, really is, way deep in his papatiel heart. I also hope, as sad as it makes me to hope it, that he is forgetting me. I don't want him to remember that he got given away, or worry that it could happen again. Ugh! I sincerely didn't mean to turn your oh, so sweet thread into something melancholy. I'm going to scroll up, read your original post again, and then leave the forum for the night with a smile on my face. Goodnight, John-Boy. Goodnight, MaryEllen. Goodnight, Emma, Piper & Silver.  |

Most nights I'll be laying in bed either reading a book or playing FarmVille 2 (obsessed, lol) while Lucy is out and about on top of her cage. She usually will randomly, without warning, climb back into her cage on her own and that's usually about the time I'm planning on going to sleep so I just close the door and get myself ready for bed before turning the light off.
In the morning when I wake up for work (usually 415am) she makes the cutest little noise when she heard my alarm go off and me wake up. It makes me feel bad about leaving her for the day but she knows I'll be home about 3pm most days, and when I pull in the driveway my mom says she already starts chirping.
I love how our birds get into our routines!

thats awesome sounds like bed time for mine, but if I dont get up off the couch when Kyba is ready to go to bed he will jump up on my head and face and pull my hair and ear until I get up and put him back in to their cage and cover them up. then I have to go to my room and watch tv or else he fusses cause its too bright and I'm making to much noise i the living room..
