Post-Christmas

Had a pretty good Christmas ... lots of food, family, presents ...

First Christmas in the new place ... closed on 10/30/2009 (Yay)
Added two new tweets to the family, no not on twitter, actual tweets. A pair of budgies (or parakeets if you prefer) named Kirk and Spock. One is yellow and one is blue so it should be obvious which is named which. (pics to follow for those imagination challenged)

They're pretty quiet for the most part, but I'm not sure if that's because they are just getting used to their new surroundings or if that is how they will be. They did "talk" a little last night, oddly enough every time I ran the kitchen faucet.

Spock was eating a lot of millet the past couple days. He's turning into a real oinker. I went to bed and he was pecking away at the millet and when we got up this morning he was pecking away at the sprig.

They both sleep differently ... Kirk sits on his perch, fluffs up and goes to sleep. Spock sits on his perch, tucks his head back and goes to sleep. They both preen and stretch a lot, though ... then again, what else to do when you're a bird.
