A Travel Bag for the Birds

January 16, 2017 elenaknitsFamily, Finished object, Gouldian Finches, Lovebirds, Sewing

I’m not a Xmas person, but this is one of the two times of the year that I visit my family and friends. I usually travel with the birds, since the cost of a plane ticket plus the bird residence is a bit more expensive than just renting a car …

Day 30/100 of #100daysuke2021 Nothing Wrong With Day 30/100 of #100daysuke2021

First time playing this one. Literally finished transposing it 10 minutes ago. It needs more work but I couldn't help trying.
5+ years of Marvin's attentions have finally paid 5+ years of Marvin's attentions have finally paid off. In the video we can see Marvin feeding Colin after Colin asks for it. Both arrived about 5 and a half years ago, and Marvin immediately fell in love with Colin, who despised him for about 4 years. Colin didn't even know he was a bird, and he only enjoyed the company of humans, having chosen me as his  partner. This kind of behavior is problematic in the long run, as humans can't fulfill the needs of birds, and it may result in mental issues, feather plucking, and other undesirable problems.

Many people thought there was no hope for Colin. I even consulted with a couple of experts. But they were wrong. Colin and Marvin have been preening each other and sleeping together for over a year, and today Marvin got to feed Colin. He's been trying every day for 5+ years. Failing each time. But he won today. We all won ♥️
