Well, our campaign to encourage Larry to eat his fruit and veg is proving difficult. While our fridge is packed full of fresh delights, our attempts to get Larry to eat them are fruitless. So far he has showed a bit of interest in a stick of celery, but apart from that ignores everything else pretty much only to get over excited by the sound of a sunflower seed coming out of a packet. He has been to the vet every day this week for an injection. We (Ian) could have done it ourselves, however Larry is relatively small and he had to be injected in his chest and we were worried about getting it wrong. Larry turned out to be a good patient and he was seen by a new vet, who may have been a trainee vet, however who knew about parrot care.
We have Larry’s new food – and needless to say he is not particularly impressed. But goodness me it smells nice! It smells like fruit of the forest yogurt. The vet told us to only give Larry sunflower seeds in the evening, which is when he is sleepy, on the assumption that he will only eat then if he is hungry. During the day he should be eating his fruit and veg (ha) and special food (double ha).
Today is day 100 of my creative year challenge. Every day (well most) I’ve done a sketch or something creative that isn’t work related. This is my favourite so far:
