Wisdom is my liveliest budgie. Wisdom has enough personality for any two well-behaved budgies, which Wisdom is not. Wisdom is the terror of the curtain-rods, and in many ways takes after her smart-ass namesake, Pete Wisdom.
Wisdom lives in the right-hand cage with Simon. They have a lively sex life. (I am envious.) Wisdom took to laying eggs a few months ago, but always ignored them and I threw them out.
In the last few days, things have changed. Wisdom has taken to sitting on the eggs, and tending them lovingly. The curtain-rods are no longer terrorized. My wild devil-bird has gone domestic. I can hardly believe my eyes.
Today I bought a nesting box.
And today she laid another egg.

I've been watching the Tony Awards. Hugh Jackman! Now, what brilliant mind decided to cast him as Wolverine? Who'd have guessed this tall, civilized singer would make such a brilliant Logan, tearing people apart with his claws?
Gad, the Tony Awards have such heart. None of the stuffiness of the Oscars, or the goofy brattiness of the MTV awards. Gay couples declaring their love for each other and people declaring their love of theatre. Good dresses. But Eddie Izzard is in a suit.
And Alan Cumming - what a treat to hear him talk with his own accent.
Was I right in seeing that one of the producers of "La Bohème" is Jonathan Kent?
