<\/a>This morning’s heap of feathers in the opposite corner from the night before<\/p><\/div>\n
I am amazed that Flame doesn’t\u00a0 look any different. You would think she would be bare with this amount of feathers dropping from her.<\/p>\n
Last night I went up to the girls at 4.00pm and the automatic door had already closed. Tonight I went up several times just before and just after 4.00pm but the automatic door was still open. It must have been a brighter day than the day before.<\/p>\n
In the end I decided to leave the girls to it as I am definitely a distraction for them. The bigger girls that had already gone in would run out again when they heard the gate opening (even though I tried to open it as quietly as I could) just in case they were missing something.<\/p>\n
I checked again when the pop hole had closed and was really pleased to see that there were no girls outside. However there was a lot of bumping and squawking going on. I usually go in and sort it out but I decided to retreat and return a bit later to see if they could sort it out for themselves.<\/p>\n
I thought that if they could sort themselves out it would give me peace of mind on Sunday afternoon when we are out.<\/p>\n
When I went up the next time all was quiet. I checked in and the amigos were all on their perch. There was a slight change with the other girls. The three bigger girls were on the back perch but Dandelion, Cinnamon and the silky girls were on their old perch.<\/p>\n
That is fine though. As long as all the girls are perched I am happy with that. I think it’s probably because with the door wedged open a bit there was more light getting to their old perch so it was probably easier to get to that than the back perch.<\/p>\n

I am really pleased with how it went tonight. As it was only the second evening with the door wedged open they have sussed it out very quickly. Well done girls!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
