Cleaning with Phryne is a challenge. If she were a dog, I'd say she was claiming territory. In 20 minutes, she pooped on the shower curtain, floor, sink, countertop, and clean towel. She is also attacking my keyboard now, and has pinched her toes twice now, hollering sharply each time. I hope she learns soon and stops attacking the keyboard, **sigh**
Hope you are all...

Today Phryne is still a bit snuffly and out of sorts. She's taking her meds like a champ. We'll see in a couple more days if she has to go back to the doctor's.
She really needed to bathe herself fully, usually she only does her head and shoulders. In cold water. Today I filled a pie pan with ice water and tried to coax...

Phryne. Poor girl. She is suffering through her first molt. Her immune system is really stressed. Took her to the doctor because of a distinct sour odor she has developed that reminded me of an infection smell. Doc is treating her for a possible systemic fungal infection and GI imbalance that could be due to her immune system being over stressed from the molt. And...

Anyone else get that feeling where you are sitting there happy, then all the sudden an intense wave of sadness comes over you and you feel like crying? No reason for it.
How do people keep from killing themselves? **sigh** Feeling very down. :-(
When you spend your whole day just trying to outwit your 5 month old conure. O_o
Phryne is enjoying going out to the screened in back deck. We call it the aviary. :-) She listens to the outside birds, sometimes call back to them. There are lots of trees crowded around the house, so she really gets to see many birds. That also wears her out, so she is ready to come in and snuggle after an hour or so. Win...

I have just been bone tired for the last week or so. I think I am sleeping, but it must not be deep enough sleep. I get up tired, feel tired the whole day, can't nap.
In other news....nah, no other news.
Love and hugs to you all.
Ack! Gah! Why? Why would you make orange scented millet sprays for birds? Not even a nice orange scent, but such a bad fake scent that it hurts to smell it! Gack! We threw it to the outside birds. **shudder**
Met Lisa. She was begging on the side of the road, looks to be about 19. Lost her job, no car, no place to live. Offered her a place to stay and she accepted. But...and this is where we feel bad about it...but...
But Karen is feeling in a bad space right now with work, really stressed out, and her only refuge is home. So...

We tried out the nighttime sleep cage for Phryne, and it seemed to go well. We used the travel cage and put it in the guest room, and Phryne slept in there. I'm hoping she sleeps better, and that I will feel less guilty about clomping around before she is awake, since she will not be right there grumbling to be let out. And, of...

Today. Okay...**sigh**...today...
