- he just loves to play with the feather duster when we clean,
- now we aren't feeding doves on roof as much a few are coming down to my study window to feed, which of course he loves!, and
- he goes mad with an old sock of mine. He is almost like a dog. In this movie he is jumping through the window after the sock, carrying it around the balcony and in through our bedroom patio windows, before dropping it back at my feet! I am afraid the quality isn't that good - but they are short and funny!
And as it has been a while here are a few pictures of Moreno and the Rock Doves:
It has been a while since I posted something. I have actually been pretty busy, which is a little strange for me. Needless to say that a lot if it has been created by Moreno!
For some reason today he decided that my running socks (clean I will add) must have been a mouse. He picked them up in his mouth and ran around with them for at least 30 minutes. He kept jumping in and out his box, and trying to find a place to settle down and eat them. He is mad, but very very funny.
One of the reasons that I have been so busy though is that the other day he found out that he could now jump/climb onto the top of the units in our kitchen:
Sands has had me putting up some window blinds (7 in total) and a neighbour has just bought one as well so I haven't finished that chore yet!
As for January, it was really quiet and very healthy. Lost 9lbs and my running is getting better - and I still haven't shaved! No reason. Strangely enough it isn't itching or bohering me like it has before so am just seeing what happens. Is kinda strange to have a beard that I can comb!!!!
I think that about brings me back up to speed :-)
Actually it doesn't! As you know I love 24 and I love gadgets so this site made me smile.
Take one plastic carrier bag, one milk carton box, a plastic ball and a very playful cat and this is what you get. The movie is a little long and at times Moreno doesn't do much, but when he does it happens pretty quickly.
He is also continuing to explore as the pictures below show. He loves to sit up on top of the shower. In fact he likes to sit up on top of pretty much everything, including the door in my study. Not sure he can actual read the map or the postcards though :-)
Over the last couple of days it seems like he has got a lot stronger and a little bigger. He now now jump higher and get himself up onto and into a few new places:
In addition to the fridge, he also likes to "help" put the dishes away!
On the sad side we have lost one of the rock doves, sharon :-(
Sands noticed that she hadn't been around for a while which was strange as she was so young, and then she noticed what looked like a dead dove trapped behind some wire netting on the cliff at the back of the apartment.
Yesterday Chris went and had a closer look and it looks very much like poor little Sharon has got trapped and died, and now the Kestrels are pecking away at her. All very sad and distressing as we can't get to her to bury her and little Bruce seems sad and lost without her. It is hard to say how Pedro and Camilla feel as they had already started to encourage them to leave the nest as Camilla is egg sitting again, but it does seem like they are somewhat subdued and Pedro is hanging around the nest more during the day.
I know it is "life" but it is very sad. Hopefully she didn't suffer. I think that is she had got attacked or stuck we would have heard any fight or the other doves crying for help, so it seems that she may just have got stuck and died of shock.
That is now three that we have lost, but she was by far the closest to us having been born in the balcony :-(She really was very beautiful and full of character. In the meantime Bruce is growing into a very handsome chap, although is still very young, and tends to get lef behind a little at the moment:
As for the rest of our life nothing much is happening which is just how I like it! Sands is playing golf and seeing her girlfriends. We seem to have xmas sorted already which is a little early but as there aren't many options here and a lot of people are away this year it was pretty easy. Sands and I will have a nice meal at home on Christmas Eve, then on Christmas Day Sands will go for a drink with Emma in the local bar whilst I help Pam and John prepare lunch which we will eat at their apartment along with Moreno and their 3 cats. Moreno has met the younger one, and totaly won the ensuing territorial battle :-)
