Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

There's plenty of room, at least for finches (tiny birds) @Former-Member

That's because small finches don't live very long.

I had 30 Zebras years ago (they bred up from just 4), now there's only about 12.

I wouldn't want them to have a full house, too crowded.

The Budgies did reach full house a few weeks ago (14), because they wouldn't stop having more baby budgies...

So I brought 5 inside, & they're happy in their own large cage.

What is the usual expected life span of a finch @Adge (still waiting on pic).

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

About 5 to 8 years @Former-Member Depending on the finch species, although it varies a lot.

Canaries have been known to live up to 20 years (rarely), my oldest Canary was about 10.

Parrots, especially large parrots (or Cockatoos) live much longer.

Galahs & Sulphur-crested Cockatoos have been known to live up to 70 years (as pets)...

Lovely, very funny pictures @Former-Member They just came through.

I had no idea that you really did mean Zebra, Lion, & Horse (not just finches)..

Someone has been very creative with that Photoshop program thingy (or similar)...

Coffee please. Didn't sleep the best last night...

Does anyone else enjoy a marshmallow in their coffee? I'm not really keen on them in hot chocolate, because it's so sweet already, but in coffee they add a nice creamy sweetness to counter the bitter overtones of the coffee.
