Life with the new birds has been good, and it’s fun to be a grandmother again. I’m sorry to say they haven’t spent a night together since, but Blue seems to be okay with it. The night before she decided on her final nesting arrangement I confess I saw her preening him as they both sat next to each other on a perch inside a finch cage. I understand her need to do this, and I think she knows that, even if she doesn’t quite get why I have to close the kitchen door when I’m gone for more than a couple hours.ĭudlee is still friends with Blue, the Budgie, and they visit now and then and talk to each other. I will have to carry Dudlee and her basket back into the dining room tomorrow morning because I have to close the kitchen door while I’m gone, but she’ll get used to this, we’ve done it before, and we seem to be sort of on the same wavelength.

It will take the fledgling some time to figure out direction and landing.

I watched Tina and Trevor trying to show it how to fly to the nest by repeating the trip several times with encouragement, but they must have short memories of their own infancies. After hanging on to the top of the nest, it fluttered down to the floor, then managed to fly up only small distances, and cannot negotiate getting back in the nest. In the meantime, Tina and Trevor’s offspring – and there was only one, as I suspected – has fledged. The Pins (the Zebra Finch nestlings who at least used to sound like someone shaking a box of pins, but now it might be more appropriate to call them The Screams) were poking their heads out of their nests today, which means they will be leaving soon.
