Fatdog and Adventure Ears, Part 7.
As mentioned earlier, in addition to two cats and two dogs, we also have a cockateil and a rabbit.

The cockateil is pale yellow with orange cheeks, and looks a lot like this one:



She does have one very odd habit- if I whistle at her she opens her beak and shakes her head while fanning out her tail, and sometimes will also duck forward and spread her wings at the same time. She does this very consistently- and it never fails to entertain.

As for the rabbit... she belongs to my daughter, and due to the fact that I'm divorced my daughter is not at my house every day. During the winter the rabbit lives in her room and stinks up the place a bit, but when the warm weather hits we move her outside. As the back yard is fenced in, I don't have to worry much about dogs bothering her- so what I do is put her cage on the lawn with the bottom tray removed so she can lay on the ground, and move her around every couple of days so she gets fresh grass to eat and leaves little piles of fertilizer behind. The bottom tray I put upside down on the cage to give her shade, and she has a little shelf she can sit on if it's raining.

Initially Adventure Ears thought that this was entirely too exciting and nosed all around the rabbit, until the rabbit charged the side of the cage and scared her. The dog was so taken aback by this that she turned her attentions to the bird, who hissed at her and tried to bite her nose.

Adventure Ears is now officially at the bottom of the food chain.
