After a few months hiatus, here I go again. Shortly before Thanksgiving, I agreed to take in a parakeet. Kiwi is a petite bird, about 8 years old. Although I placed her cage on a high table, Charlotte's interest caused me to rethink the location. She was so excited by the fluttering and chirping she climbed the couch and tried to press her nose to the cage. This wasn't going to work. Finally Kiwi was moved to the bar, which is a built in, that is lovely, but only used during parties. My housekeeper was 'thrilled' about flying seed hulls all over the glasses and counter. Charlotte still maintained her obsession trying to jump up and peer over the edge of the bar to 'touch and smell' Kiwi. The bird seemed much happpier up there! Finally I found a solution we can all live with.Charlotte got her own viewing stand!
