Progress today with the little man ...

Ted started flying to me yesterday , urged on with millet! He stayed with me quite a while yesterday on a couple of occasions . Today he was out of his cage for probably the longest period of time - about 8 hours or more. He seemed to enjoy himself today and even took a look when I was cleaning out his cage - stopping to have a good look when I took toys out for a clean! He got really close to me but didn't seem to want to have a head scratch which is something cockatiels love. A bit later I sat down and he was very keen to come over so again I tempted him with some millet. He stayed quite a while and we enjoyed each other's company. Sophie took a photo:

Lacock Abbey

This week we went to Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire.  What a beautiful place, great for taking photographs.  So wished I had taken my Nikon!  Instead I used my iphone using the app Hiptamatic and here are some of my shots:

Sunrise

Yesterday I woke just after 3 and for the first time in a long while, was able to see the sunrise, and what a beauty she was ......

Camping

I'm camping in Calne in Wiltshire with my daughter Sophie snd with my new tent. So far so good. Got a bit burnt today. So hot! Had a lovely evening listening to owls and ducks and looking at shooting stars and the milky way. What will tomorrow bring?

Polly and Ted have a day in the garden

Today it was such a lovely day so I took Polly and Ted into the garden for a few hours. It was nice for them to feel the warmth and watch the birds outside

Polly got on TBone's hand

Here's Polly when she got on T-Bone's hand ... Awwww. Progress. She is still so shy though
