Well, it’s very common for the Bourkes, after they’ve been out for awhile, to fly back to their cages, and frequently they play games – each one flies into the other’s cage, for example. Well, today our happy little Bourkes both flew into her cage, so we decided to let them share a few moments together. I have to say, they both seem quite contented – there was a constant sweet chattering to one another, they shared toys, ringing the same bells, etc., and now they’re resting happily. Here are some photos – I’m sorry the photos are more than a bit blurry – I don’t think the Bourkes enjoyed the camera peering at them too much so I rushed it a bit!

-And while I’m here at the computer, let me share a picture of today’s harvest from our organic vegetable garden – colorful swiss chard, one brave tomato, yummie-and-ever-so-healthy spinach, fresh basil – the making for a great sautee tonight!

-and finally, the wintry state of our organic vegetable garden – brrrrrrrr – for our part of California, today is cold!
