Today is Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day! I will call Mom later. Today, we slept in late, until about noon, because we were up late last night. Amadeo was working on a project for a Mother's Day present for Dawn. I did the usual morning routine, then I brought my birds outside to clean the cages, freshen up their food and water, and let them have fresh air and sunshine.
Last night, when I was chatting with Dyanis online in the courtyard, the cat jumped on top of the parakeets' cages and knocked down the nest box with the breeding hen in it. There was debris and broken eggs all over the floor, and I lost two fertile eggs. That damn cat! This has happened before with stinky butt, so although I am upset that this happened, I am a little desensitized to it. I know it's their nature, but I can't have them keep doing that.
I do everything I can to prevent it.I moved the table and ladder so the cat cannot easily jump on top of the refrigerator. I put Plexiglass in front of the cages, to block the cat from getting to the birds. Yesterday, I got a spray water bottle to spray the cat when he tries to go for my birds. After I cleaned up the mess, last night, I put hook straps around each nest box to keep them from falling. The lady from Bird's Unlimited suggested that and so far it is working great. I hope the nest box does not get knocked down again.
Later, I might go grocery shopping, chat with Dyanis, and maybe go to The Bean Gallery.
