Two cute stories:

First, my blue budgie Pookie's acrobatics last night had me in
stitches!  I have a great bathrobe--thick, thick terry cloth with
a big hood.  My hair was wet and I was exhausted, so I had the hood
on as I watched t.v.  Pookie landed on my head with a thump, then
proceeded to walk over to the front of the hood (at my forehead) and
peer over the edge into my glasses.  There's something incredibly
cute about a tiny little white face hanging upside down in your
face!

Second, my six month old cockatiel Murphy was more daring than usual in
the shower this morning.  He's just learning to enjoy the fine mist I hold
him in--he does a lot of blinking and looking shocked.  Well, after a minute
he decided that he would retreat to his usual sanctuary, my shoulder.
Naturally my shoulder was directly under the jet of the shower head, and
the bird was washed off immediately.  Down on the floor of my tub/shower
he looked pathetic and wet, but he just looked up at me with his big
black eyes with one of those "Oh Sh*t!" looks on his face!
