Good morning everyone 🥶 Still very chilly here today with a storm on the way this weekend. I'm just up as Grant is going birding this morning so got up for the parrots. I've just come downstairs to a lovely welcome from them all, with Ziggy yelling "Hello!" as soon as she heard me coming down and Jadie babbling with excitement. Toby is the silent one, but at least he isn't screeching at me - yet - I fully expect that ear shattering squawk to happen soon as it's something he seems to do in the mornings. Only to me mind you. He just makes little "Hmmm?" noises to Grant. 🤔

I have to sort out an order that came in last night for a pair of slipper boots so it can be posted today and then we're off for a bimble around Lidl later. I'm waiting for yarn to arrive for a new custom crochet order and have another potential on the cards. It's that time of year 😊

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

Myths that people seem to weirdly keep bringing up about companion/pet #birds and especially #parrots, because why not:

1) That birds are in any way interchangeable with each other.

There's this perception that you can just walk out and "adopt an animal!" People will attempt to use the same logic that they use on cats and dogs (where I may disagree with the argument but it at least applies) to birds.

But birds are not like that at _all_. It fails on just about every level with birds.
