The Finsterium is designed so you can open the entire middle section of the front, or just the bottom third of that middle section. Usually I'll just open that small door, but the Finsters are used to me opening the big door, and these days almost never leave the safety of the Big House. The exceptions were the late Snow Dude, who was curious and bold enough to explore the world around him when I was cleaning, and Sally, who used to get startled by my normal routines much more easily. Of course, when we're trying to catch them, you can never tell where they'll end up, but during daily maintenance, they stay inside.

This morning, along with the normal fresh water and veg, I had a freshly-cleaned seed tower to put into the Finsterium, so I opened the big door. I had placed the seed tower inside, and had gone back to the counter for the water dish, when I heard the sound of a flying bird behind me. It was Decaffeinated! Adventure Bird! I don't ever remember her being adventurous like this, and I expected her to fly right back home, but she didn't. First she sat on Peanut's perch that hangs on the front of the Finsterium, and then she sat on the open door. I had enough time to offer her corn (she didn't take any), get the camera, and take a bunch of pictures. In fact, after about ten minutes of her looking around and all the other Finsters being upset I finally coaxed her back inside. One minute later she was snacking on corn.

You can see the lovely Decaffeinated close up here and here.
