We are once again experiencing unusually high temperatures for us. It has been 33\/34 degrees c which is low 90’s degrees f. This time we have had a week of these temperatures and they are forecast to continue to the end of the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday Flame was beak panting and holding out her wings. I gave the girls frozen peas in dishes of water and damped down parts of the run. This morning I was shopping and so I bought the girls a melon. I cut a couple of slices and halved them then froze them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning I had given the girls frozen peas but this afternoon I gave them the frozen melon. While taking the slices out of the freezer I replaced them with fresh slices for tomorrow and will keep doing this until the weather cools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The melon doesn’t stay frozen for long but it must be cooling and refreshing when I first put it on the girl’s patio and they all rush to it. Flame looked more comfortable today so I think it really does help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I can safely say that the girls enjoyed their melon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
