I think I was dupped. I decided to try something different for bath time.
I aM traveling to NJ today and decided especially since I saw a couple of
fleas. To break down their room and give them a good bath and check them
over. I decided to try something different. I ran water in the tub and
proceeded to go and get the fuzzbutts from outside. I put all 9 in the
bathtub. A couple wanted to get out. I put water on them and they
decided to stay. So I said hey this is going to work. I decided as a
safety to put the trashcan in front of the door. I figured they couldn't
get out or I would notice. One by one they honesty waited their turn and
some even laid down as the sprayer sprayed them. I thought what good
babies I have. Then when there was only 2 left to do. I noticed I hadn't
heard any dooking, running, or felt any playing. As I looked at the door
it was wide open. I got up and ran downstairs. And noticed all the
activity going on. My husband thought I let them out. Why would he think
that because the parakeets have free run of that room. I ran to the bird
cage. I didn't see them at first. And yes there was one fuzzbut in their
cage. Once I rounded up the fuzzbutts I saw the parakeets at the top of
their cage. They are use to intruders. We have a mouse that has been
running the house since Jun. He goes in and sleeps in the parakeet
hanging tent. I am now running around and scooping fuzzbutts as they
tease me in the wardance. Laughing I run upstairs to find the last 2
waiting as to say What about us? Any time now. I have to admit it has
been months since they have been bathe. But, all in all, they never
cease to amaze me. I wonder was the behavior displayed in the tub a ploy
to help the others escape. Probably not. They were long awaited for a
bathe. I feel I am very lucky to have 9 very compatible fuzzbutts who
bring joy to me everyday.
This is just something I wanted to share.
