Melon was trying very hard to keep me from going to work, while Smokey my male budgie was more "Mom, why isn't you going to work?" While Melon was throwing a fit at the bottom of her cage because she sees me grab my bag.
So I took Melon out one more time (i had her out with me the whole morning), and I told her, "Mom's gotta go work so you guys can have lots 'n lots of toys to play with, and get more good food for you and your budgie siblings along with your cat and dog sisters and brothers too. You be a good girl." and she just stared at me and quietly went back into her cage.
And watched me walk out the door from my room.
