Hard Work--not Swimming--birds--sunday!

Every Sunday I clean a different bird cage.usually take them out on
the
walkway and wash them down but, once every 3-4 months I take the
largest cage downstairs (okay, okay, I use the elevator) hose and scrub
it down cleaning in between all the cracks, ruts and getting into the
hard to reach places. It takes a good hour before I take it back
upstairs to let it dry off on the walkway.





 



While I am doing this the tiels have free reign in the apartment but as soon as the cage is set up and
put in place they run into the cage--they know when they have it good!!!

There is a shelf outside under my windows. Nearby is a tree that a lot of birds nest in. Every evening, around 6:30, I take whatever
food my birds haven't eaten: the veggies, seeds and pellets and throw
them on the shelf. A couple of the birds from the tree staying coming
by a little early but within a half hour the food is all gone. There
are ring necked doves, pigeons and, once in awhile, a bluebird.







After
I finished with the birds and the cage, it being Sunday and another
beautiful day I went down to the pool with my Entertainment Weekly and
Esquire magazines. Due to the problems with my ears and eyes I can no
longer dive or go swimming in the pool so like an old man (no
wisecracks!!!) I go in up to my waste and dip in!!  UGH!!

  First time I saw this--a green canoe!
