Today Mic bought me the sweetest little zebra finch which he has told me “needs” to be called ‘Finchette’. I wasn’t sure that I was ready for another bird, but I knew that the longer I left Horatio by himself the less chance he had of surviving. Finches are very social birds and really can’t live alone - especially after having a partner for so long. I was worried that the longer I left him on his own the weaker he would get… And I don’t know what I would do if he died too… I felt so bad leaving him a room on his own without me or any of the dogs cos he would just call out at the top of his lungs and my heart just broke thinking of him sitting there in the dark by himself… So I guess Finchette is more of a present for Horatio than she is for me!

Finchette is settling in well with her new “husband”. He’s showing her the ropes haha! They are sitting together at the moment sharing a carrot stick… Too cute! I will try to get some photos of them later, but its so hard as they never sit still!

Well then, until next time…!
