Good morning Folks
Lol at “intervention” potato chip
Fancy those pictures are just beautiful! I especially like the rocking chair one.
CTKen nice to see you over this part of the world and many thanks for your thoughts.
Thank You also appps.
I sit here this morning listening to the Doves coo, the Crows caw, the neighbour’s dog bark and hubby sneezing and realise that rehoming KiKi is drastic because if these things do not wake him up, he must have adjusted to those and yep, he just needs to adjust to KiKi.
Hi there RuthiePoo, nice to meet you. Looking forward to hearing about your flock also.
Annie I got such a chuckle at “Chooks shriek, crow, whinge, grumble, cackle, talk, honk, purr, grunt and just generally make chook noises”. Yep, and all in the space of 10 minutes
Lol at the cats .. yep, they are a whole different kettle of fish. While their ears give away the fact that they have heard you; their ignoring of you is obvious
I truly believe the gals know when it is cheese day. As I mentioned previously in the thread, they share a very small piece of cheese every Sunday afternoon. Not too hard for them to work out when that is .. it is always towards the end of the second day of nearly all day free range. We have made a point of spelling out c h e e s e on Sundays
I can also growl at them or say their name in a ‘your in trouble tone’ and they stop and look.
We had a good day yesterday; after my son closed his window at 05:30am he did not surface until 09:30am which I think was a pretty good sleep in.
While I say we had a good day yesterday, not so sure KiKi, Crystal and LuLu would agree. Their day started out with the indignity of having their butts washed and they were not overly impressed. In my defence, they should not have such fluffy butts and should put more thought into the whole pooping process
Then they got to spend the whole day pottering around in the garden, between rain showers, while I cleaned the coop and water containers and pottered in the garden. For lunch they got sardines which are always a hit. I think I have mentioned before, I swear Blondie has a death wish and she has opted for death by garden fork or spade
I hope no one minds but i wanted to share this pic. Hubby made this sign for our boys on the weekend. When we lost bear 7 years ago he hand painted one but he decided to redo it when he did a new one for Zeus. The light was not good for this pic but he burnt their names and dates into the wood and then they have 9 coats of clear over the top. I think the boys would like them.
You need a son like mine Teila. He sleeps with his window open never hears a thing, mind you this same son can sleep through a fire alarm and fireworks.
It took me long enough, but I realised why it had become a problem of late, my son was on holidays for just over a week and while I normally only have to keep them quiet on the weekend, it had been a stressful 9 or so days, trying to keep them quiet every morning.
He got to sleep in until 09:45am yesterday and is already up and about today, getting ready for work.
Not a peep out of the girls after I fed them at 05:30am; good girls
Hehe, I think it's time you explained to him that you cannot control the sounds of nature.
Round here we are brutal, it's pretty much ' eat some cement and harden up '
I was interested to know what types the girls are, the reason for the bouffant hair-dos and the dainty feet on the little lady in the front (is that Kiki?)

Anyway, I then notice your link and open it, and read the bios of your girls.
I am pleased to announce that I have solved the issue of Kiki's morning concerts....
Change her name!! She's channelling her namesake. She thinks she's in a group of divas and is just fulfilling her responsibilities as an entertainer.
Don't go breakin my heart!
The real question is why Cilla isn't waking everybody up....by having a great set of lungs
