The Finster Log

Mirror Singing

Posted on: 12/04/02, 14:24:13
Tea was on the left side of the Finsterium, singing his Hunka Hunka Burning Love Song, and dancing his Hunka Hunka Burning Love Dance, to Goober. Frank was on the perch next to Tea, watching. Frank kept scooting closer to Tea, who scooted closer to Goober, who scooted over on the perch, and over again, until finally she ran out of perch, and hopped onto the short perch (3 1/2 inches) of the closest nest box. Tea joined her, but since the perch is so short, Frank couldn't follow, even though it looked like he wanted to. A few minutes later, the three birds repeated the exact dance, but this time on the right side of the Finsterium. The singing, the dancing, the scooting, the hopping, all of it. Mirror images.

Since there were no more eggs in the hospital cage or the Finsterium, and since both Darjeeling and Decaffeinated seem fine, I put them back into the Big House today. Here's hoping there are no more eggs.
