Snow days!

Yay, we finally got some real snow! Of course it's already rapidly melting but still, it was fun to work on my sweater while Mother Nature offered some inspiration.
On the birdy front, some of the girls have moved into their new pads. As I suspected they were not the least bit impressed by the new giant fixture in their cage but they're starting to warm up to it. Mom (Amelia) is the only one still trying to nest outside the box but I think this is largely due to Dad (Cosmo) picking a fight with her every time she tries to enter the last unoccupied home. I don't know why he's being so picky but we've had some words today so maybe he'll back off her now :-) Who am I kidding? He never listens to me, Amelia will eventually tire of his yelling and kick his butt, then all will be well.
That's the two un-named girls sitting on their respective eggs and Idgy (the gimpy bird) was napping on the ramp (until I started taking pictures). Dad built him a handicapped ramp before we new he'd have no trouble getting himself up and down the ladder. Idgy's such a trouper!
