Soentjie is Home!
I bought her back from the vet this afternoon. Such excitement. The mad gang could hear her arrival from outside the aviary. Such screaming.
Then when I brought her in they all flew over to say hello, and Jack Jack immediately dropped his food and rushed over to rub beaks and share some apple.
Ahhhhhhh!
Then they all went to the feeding bowls chattering happily about how much they missed her!
Well, thats how it was SUPPOSED to go. What ACTUALLY happened was there was an immediate blitzkreig of a fight when she entered the aviary. She was mad keen to make friends. The girls were mad keen to eat her. I defended both of us with a big cloth, and escaped with both my ears.
Soon Soentjie was ensconced in her sleeping cage, door closed, while the mad gang tried to eat their way through the bars, red eyes glowing.
After 5 minutes I distracted them with seed, and (relative) calm descended.
Where was Jack Jack in all this? Hes a clever boy. He stayed on the high branch till the girls finished world war 3. then came down to collect his kisses lol
