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.

Pretty good & happy, thanks @Former-Member

I was just thinking (this afternoon) -

How nice it was to come home & hear them chirping, before I even opened the door.

I was so sad when my last Orange Breast slipped out the door of the aviary, a few weeks ago.

Orange Breast Waxbills (finches) from Africa, are the smallest seed-eating bird in the world.

They're gorgeous & tiny.

I have some new baby Bengalese finches (just out of the nest) @Shaz51

They're gorgeous - Bengalese make a "Cluck, cluck" sound (call), like tiny Chooks.

All the Lonchura family of finches (species) go "Cluck, cluck"....

@Adge the different size, colour and variety of birds is amazing.

I have been enjoying the morning birdsong at home, tonight we have a frog chorus.
