    Is spring on the way?

    Looking out of the window it is a grey dreich day with sleet showers. But Casper has started a serious molt of his smaller feathers. He obviously has the impression that spring is on the way because the evenings are getting later.

    We are in the midst of the January thaw. The weather was beautiful yesterday, however, February is notorious for winter storms.

    Casper stopped moulting for about a month. Mind you he was rather ill in that period. He is certainly making up for it now, for the last two days he has moulted more small feathers than you can balance in the palm of your hand and has been preening furiously, occasionally growling when he knocks a blood feather. Today there was a primary feather in the bottom of the cage when he was uncovered but whether this was due to come out or got knocked out we are not sure. He knocked a butt feather out yesterday, unfortunately not the one that has been sticking out at right angles for a week. Right turn Clyde.

    I don't know what to think about this weather, and I also noticed that it wasn't dark outside at 5pm here as it usually is and has been til recently. Yesterday it was feeling like spring as I didn't even feel I needed a sweater till after 8 pm.

    Well, the weather has turned colder, the feathers have stopped coming out and there is a lot of new feather growth going on, enough to make us look like we have been sprinkled with sugar after a few minutes of him sitting on a shoulder preening. Casper has just been put in his cage for the night and I have just been given a going over with the vacuum cleaner by Margaret

    Hmm, woke up to snow showers today and wondered if God is a parrot and has just had a good shake

    6 inches of snow here last night. I think spring is still a ways away for us.
