A new voice in my home...

[fajrdrako]

I was sitting here working on a Clex story and I heard peeping from the bird cage right behind me. That's nothing new: I have four noisy feathered guys who have a lot to say and like to say it.

But this peeping was a new voice.

This peeping is coming from the nesting box that Wisdom has been sitting in for a few weeks.

This peeping is.... Unfamiliar. Certainly not Wisdom's assertive voice, or Simon's loud chirp. This is a tiny sound, rather like a cricket. I suspect I couldn't hear it on the other side of the room.

I think someone hatched.

I can't see the baby; I don't want to disturb anyone by looking into the nesting box with a flashlight. But -

Either Wisdom has adopted a cricket or I have a fifth budgie.

Oh my goodness.

Is that why Wisdom was looking so happy and smug when she popped out of the box this morning?

Photos of the Kids

Yikes -- I did take some pictures of them, during my visit in March, and I have not yet developed the film. Fie on me. I'll get right on that, and send the pictures on to you.

Oh, wonderful! I'd love to see the pictures. Send 'em on.

I bet you had them all posing, little show-offs that they are.
