What has gotten into the humans?
Last night, Shirley and Steve got it into their heads that they were going to cut our nails. Why? We like our nails. Okay, some of them are quite long and we're having a hard time standing on our perches, but we don't want anything cut off.
Anyway, Shirley and Steve thought up a plan of her catching us and Steve cutting the nails. However, they didn't realize that we heard Shirley say that she would only try catching us for a maximum of 5 minutes before she would stop. (She's worried that she'll scare us too much for our little hearts to take.)
Anyway, we knew something was up, so we stayed away from the cage doors. Shirley tried and tried, but she couldn't catch us. We think she's afraid of us. hee hee hee
Anway, we flew around escaping her grip for 5 minutes and then she stopped. She said she'd try again. Sheesh, weird humans. Anyway, it would be nice if our nails were a bit shorter, but we'd rather go to a salon to get our nails done.
We need a vacation.

Where did the nest go?!
We were calmly sitting on the eggs when suddenly Shirley put a big piece of newspaper in our cage. Why?! The newspaper tried to attack us, so we had to leave the nest and stay in one of the corners. The newspaper blocked our view of the nest, so we tried to attack it to get back to the nest.
After a few moments, Shirley took the newspaper out of the cage. We tried to go back to the nest, but it was gone! Where did it go?! We looked under all the food dishes and under all the items in the cage, but the nest was gone. Then we tried calling out for the babies, but there was no answer.
Shirley looked really sad and we asked her to help us find the nest, but she didn't know where it was. Steve came home and he was very upset too about the nest. He and Shirley discussed something about throwing stuff down the garbage chute. We hope it was that newspaper that attacked us and stole our nest.
All night we searched and called for our nest, but there was no answer.
Maybe our nest will come back some day.

Last Day
Today is the last day of incubation. If a baby does not hatch today then the eggs are all duds.
It's so sad. :(
Shirley said that she might not let us lay eggs again because the problem may be that Dragon and I are related. I think Steve's trying to convince her to let us try again later this year.
We overheard Shirley and Steve discussing how they're going to get the nest out of the cage without us getting mad at them. Steve said he's going to hide in the bedroom so we don't think he has anything to do with it. Shirley said she's going to try to fool us by using a toy bird as a decoy. We'll let you know what happens.

Bad Humans!
Why we let these humans live with us, we don't know.
Today Stephen "worked from home" and then in the afternoon, two INTRUDERS came by with a huge sofa to be placed right in front of us. (The old sofa is in the background.)
We were very upset about being disturbed while we are tending to the eggs. (No babies yet.) We both vocalized our displeasure and Steve had to put our cage cover down so that we would no longer see the INTRUDERS in our home.
We were okay when they left, but then Steve had to take a nap in front of us.
Sheesh, must be nice not to have to sit on four eggs all the time... Must be nice to sit on a nice comfy sofa whenever you want... Must be nice not to sleep sitting up on a plastic stick...
We will vocalize our displeasure with Shirley when she gets home.

Benny's Got a Blog!
Our friend Benny has a Blog.

Okay, he might eat us if he saw us, but he's our friend in spirit.
Poor Benny cat with the constipation. He should eat brocolli like we do, we poop a lot after eating brocolli. Shirley doesn't like it because she has to clean the cage, but that's how we roll.

7 Days down, 7 Days to go
Dragon's side:
Well, how long is the incubating going to take? Ophie won't let me snuggle with her in the nest and she's not paying attention to my hoppy dance. I didn't know making a nest was going to result in having to sleep on a perch alone. I have discussed my displeasure with the smallness of the nest with Shirley and Steve. They have agreed that next time they will get us a nest big enough for both of us to sit in together.
Ophie's side:
Dragon's a ninny. He's always jumping on my back in the nest trying to fit two birds in a space meant for one. He's such a guy. Eggs are fine so far. I don't know if any are going to hatch. We'll wait another week and then decide if we're going to say they're duds. If Dragon bothers me again in the nest, I'm going to give him the pecking of a lifetime.
