Birds and Eggs

This weekend, I took a few breaks from my studies.  Last two finals, yay!  Unfortunately they were not tired breaks but more can’t concentrate breaks, which are the worst!

Despite that “lack of concentration” frustration, i spent a lot of the time with my pets (two cockatoos and cat). 

Time that was much needed especially for my birds.  They have been sitting on 10 eggs for the past month and a half and the worst part is knowing they will never hatch.  They enjoy acting like parents to be so i let them be. 

Until today. 

I took advantage of the opportunity when both came out to eat.  I replaced the box where they were  keeping their eggs in with a small tub of water.  Contact with water for a bird usually weans them off of their eggs.  A trick i learned as a child when all of the chickens we raised refused to leave their nests. 

Voila!  The trick worked with my birds.  They took showers in the water and then seemed quite content with their environment. 

I am glad.
