Yesterday we installed the Tower of Terror – a cup and mug holder for the birds to perch on. First of all they fled from it as fast as possible, then came the next stage – ignoring it, then Mobbing it and seeing if it did anything back. After this my husband took each bird (on a stick) to the tower so that they could see it up close.
Monty was the first to land on it right at the top of course, then the other birds tentatively followed suit.
Eventually when they had all had their turn, they started dancing around it and looking at their own reflections in the base. Monty claimed it as his and chased Jerry away whenever he got close. This is the usual thing that happens with something new, Monty has to approve it before any of the others, especially Snowy, will go near it.

Monty told Jerry off but I get the impression the little scamp wasn’t taking it seriously.
Mange Tout is still as popular as ever, when they aren’t flinging it at us in competition they even nibble it a bit.
Don’t talk to me about how crap my computers specifications are, I KNOW, but I can’t afford a new one right now.
