Weekend Update
Hi, Flapper. Why don’t you tell us about the weekend?
“Hi mom. It was a pretty busy weekend around here.”
“But I think I’m going to need some treats to give me enough energy to tell you about everything that’s going on.”
Okay, Flapper. You got it.
“Can I get a little bit of that treat action over here? I prefer worms.”
Sure thing, Chewy.
“I need those extra treats so I have extra energy to MOVE FAST when O’Malley is chasing me.”
Good point, Flapper.
“Okay, so Simon the furball was outside with us this weekend. He likes to keep an eye on the crows.”
“The crow is gathering extra food for his girlfriend and her nestlings. We’re not sure if they’ve hatched yet, but he is stockpiling food.”
“He carries the food from the fence up, up, up…”
“Up to the gutters to hide it for later. Then he takes some to his girlfriend at her nest.”
“And then the crow comes back to hang out with us. Here he is watching the Stellar’s Jay.”
“The Stellar’s Jays are nesting nearby too, but we think they may have lost their eggs or nestlings to some other crows. Sorry, Stellar’s Jays.”
“O’Malley and Petunia spent time this weekend hunting for bugs.”
“Petunia is really good at it because she concentrates really hard.”
“Chewy and I just took some extra naps.”
“Oh… Olivia and Racquel L’Oreal hunted for bugs, too.”
“And Racquel had her butt feathers and face feathers trimmed… hee hee.”
“I think that pretty much sums up the weekend. Why don’t we end it with a few more treats?”
That was a good weekend update, Flapper. Thanks, my buster. I will go grab you some more treats.
Happy week, everyone.

A clever and sweet description.
I love it!!!! The photos are awesome. I love the 2nd photo of Flap’s beak and face. Your yard must be so clean of bugs. I have to trim the butts of my long haired cats too; though they aren’t chikins but long fur or long feathers – it’s all the same. LOL
Flap with our storm hitting tonight, you better hang on to the aviary for sure. Hopefully the crow’s food storage won’t blow away either. Stay dry all.
Thanks for this sweet report:-) Looks like a peaceful and beautiful weekend in Seattle, dry, sun and no rain (though rain is good for hunting bugs). Your yard looks flawless, nice green grass and great for some playtime.
I see Racquel is out of the woods too, stay that way sweetie.
It’s been raining for days in Holland and it’s quite cold, muddy and wet, but the ducks love the puddles and the abundance of worms (they hardly touch their food).
Sounds like an excellent weekend!
