Easter Chickens

Chris' beloved Barbara (his grandma) came to visit us for Easter.  It was also her birthday over the holiday so we celebrated both occasions with dinner out and then some presents (for Chris & Holly, too.)  Chris was very attentive to Barbara when she was opening her gifts, in fact he stayed by her side the entire time.  He even serenaded her with a chorus of chicken noises.  Holly can be heard in the background clicking for Barbara and then they both whistled at/for her and, of course, Barbara makes all of the noises back for them!  All the video and photo coverage is below:

Bird In A Bag

Chris is obsessed with a bird catching net I bought for those times when I can't catch him or Holly.  Every once in a while they play avoidance games with me when I have to put them back in their cages, so the net is a good thing to have, although it's rare that I have to use it in my apartment.  But, because Chris has becomes obsessed with the net all I have to do is pick it up and shake it and he comes zooming over!  Lately he's taken to playing with it himself, which I don't want because he will eventually destroy it.  Today, he knocked it down and crawled into the bag it's in.  It got awfully quiet and when I went to check on him found half of his body sticking out of the bag. 

In the bag

I poked the bag a little and he still didn't come out.  If you listed closely you can hear him hissing at me.

Naturally, after a few minutes Holly got involved and wanted to play in the bag, too.  First he played with Chris from the outside of the bag, but then managed to shove half of his body in along side Chris.  I tried to get a photo of that but as soon as Chris heard the camera he came out and started to chase me.  I was only able to shoot a quick video of Holly near the bag before Chris gave chase again.

Four thousand toys for them to play with and they choose a plastic bag!
