Chris and Holly enjoyed a very fun weekend at their Grandma Barbara's house. It was very cold so we decided to light a fire in the fireplace in their room. They've never seen a fire before and we weren't sure what to expect from them, but they LOVED it! They sat on their swings in front of the fire and were mesmerized by the flames. I think they liked the warmth it provided. We did have a little trouble keeping the wood burning without a ton of newspaper kindling so we're going to have to find better wood. And, yours truly spent so much time so close to the fire that my face and neck got all red and itchy! A small sacrifice to keep the parrots entertained......Since they loved it so much we're going to make a lot of fires for them this holiday season.
A cozy cockatoo fire
Holly (Rozy) was the first one to take an interest
Chris quickly became a full fledged firebug
At first he was very curious
Curiousity soon turned into contentment
They kept chasing each other off the swing closet to the fire....here's Holly taking a turn.
Finally they worked it out and settled in, one on each swing enjoying the golden glow.
