Despite close competition, the lovebirds are most definitely the messiest members of the household. When their size is factored in, they are probably the messiest creatures in Spain! They strew debris with gay abandon around their cage. It doesn’t help that Barry digs in her food like a dog digging in earth, spraying her food out behind her.
Of course, they are only doing their job. In the wild their job would be to spread seeds around to grow – and that’s what they are doing with a vengeance. But for such little birds the food goes so far!
Ludvig is also messy, but not in the same league as the lovebirds.
I don’t remember Barry and Gary being as messy as Barry and Harry – Harry doesn’t seem particularly messy, perhaps he just brings out the worst in Barry.
Sam keeps on hanging on. I really don’t think he’ll be with us for much longer, but when he’s awake, he has his head up looking around and when he’s outside he’s very wobbly but sniffs around and seems still to be enjoying life so we’ll keep on taking every day as it comes.
We’re enjoying some lovely spring like weather at the moment, with almonds out in blossom and carpets of daisies (although I think it might be chamomile) in the olive groves. This is daisy looking for a ball under an almond tree.
