An explanation seems both impossible and unnecessary. After a bit of indoor training (during bad weather) our new pets were ready for their photoshoot....
They were getting along so well, it looked like they were ready for a nest, and look! Are those eggs?
I have a crazy amount of newfound respect for birds and their nest building abilities! I had perfect atmospheric conditions, two opposable thumbs, even tools and still I struggled. Respect, birds!
Details: Pattern for budgerigars and eggs from: Crochet Birds by Vanessa Mooncie
Yarn: Scheepjes Catona cotton from Bellemae Yarns
Nest: My own pattern, held together with some fine mohair yarn and Habu paper moire leftovers
If only I'd photographed the note that I found next to a budgie that was flat on it's back with its legs in the air. It said:
"I am having a power nap. I am NOT dead. If you feed me slivered almonds I will wake up and do tricks for you."That's a bit how we all feel right now.
So gorgeous and I'm in awe of your crochet (and other crafting) talents. Take care during this unusual time and keep on crafting 😘
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! That's jus the kind of compliment, and instruction, I can take heart from xx
DeleteThey're delightful! Can't wait to see if you get blue or green babies.
ReplyDeletehee hee. I suspect we may be waiting a while for those eggs to do anything (other than get lost under the couch!)
DeleteIt looks like you were having way too much fun with this!
ReplyDeleteThat's me! Cheers Rachel.
DeleteOh my these are so cute and the only birds I would want to own. Love the note!!
ReplyDeleteYep, no mess, no obligations, no psittacosis. they're perfect pets!
DeleteHow long before they hatch?!
ReplyDeleteI figure since there was no miraculous hatching on Easter Sunday it's just not going to happen. :)
