My new windows get put in today.
Rainbow does not mind being closed in his cage for a while. He has toys in there that he loves playing with. He loves the ball inside a ball and a bell in the middle. He can really beat it up. He spreads his wings around it so it won't roll too far while it is under attack. She is so happy when beating on it.
Myrtle is another matter. Putting Myrtle in a cage is like trying to put a cat in a carrier. They will have to do Aunt B's window first so I can put her in that room. She loves that room and hangs from the curtain rod to look out the window when she is not tormenting Aunt B. Myrtle loves to slap her with her wings as she goes by or pull her hair to make her scream. (Aunt Betty is a screamer and the Amazons love to make noise in any way.)
I took all the extra perches out of the Cockatiel room so they will all go to the cage. Last night I put their supper and water in there. It will be crowded for a while but they have all gone in at one time on their own before. If I can't get them all closed in together then I will just stay in there to keep them in the far side of the room. When they are scared they fly around the room until tired then go to the safety of their cage.
Rachel still has stuff piled up in three rooms. Charles went over to clear paths to the windows since I cannot physically move the heavy boxes.
I really need those windows but am stressed to the max to have men in every room of my house. Charles will have to be with me to help with my PTSD problem. He seems to be the only one in the family I can depend on. He fights his problems when he needs to help me with mine.
Wish me luck. My birds have my heart and I will do all I can to get them through this.
