Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: full – yeehar.
Yuck. We were fast asleep last night when suddenly there were lights and noise and grabbing hands – Jack first, then me, Steve, Brian, Paula, the Boys (the chick was hiding, so luckily missed out). We were each picked up, up ended, dusted with some sort of smelly powder and put back on the perch. The people do it all gently and with love, but it is still very humiliating and pointless.
Jack won’t admit it but he likes having a cuddle with the female person after he’s been powdered. She gives him a tickle between his wattles and it makes him squirm with pleasure. It’s not natural, those cross-species attractions. Sam was a bit the same with The Female Person apparently. Shockingly he even used to let her dress him up!
