Here's Bosco the Peach-faced Lovebird preening on his new window setup in our living room. Early on we bought him a little "gym" where he was supposed to hang out while out of his cage. He never stayed on the equipment longer than two seconds. Until now. We moved the gym next to our front window, added a fallen branch from the neighbor's apricot tree and, voila!, he loves it.

He often gets off the branch and ventures along the towel-cushioned window sill, the better to eyeball and peep at all the big black crows and mourning doves and the occasional red-tailed hawks that fly around the big trees in our corner of the neighborhood. And as you can tell, he loves stuffed animals. He particularly likes to pull on their noses and eyes and bite their paws whenever he's irritated with his human companions. Even lovebirds have to vent sometimes.
