a few step backs

We have taken a few steps back...

Blessing's feathers were almost completely grown back and now she has denuded herself once again and more this time.

I believe it was because of my attempt to make the room and their cage safer for the birds because neither can fly very effectively...actually Blessing can flutter down better than Miracle who basically plops on the ground sometimes very hard.

So I made a hammock in their crate about 6 inches from the bottom (they never go down there anyway) and then covered it with newspaper. But Blessing (who is more
cautious in certain ways) noticed and I could tell her eye was looking a little wild. That's why I put newspaper over the material I'd used.

Then I got the brilliant idea--I do think it is a good idea really--to pad the surrounding floor which is unforgiving slate--with foam rubber covered by old sheets and bedspreads.

I just took out the offending hammock and now have an opposite reaction: "oh my G'd she took out the hammock".

I will allow myself one despairing moment: here it is....blecchhhhh, groan, grrrrrrrr,
hopeless-hopeless-hopeless.
