SINCE my last article, Jane and I have both been struck down with covid and spent a good deal of time in bed feeling pretty horrible. Jane sorted out the birds for me while I was ill. Each morning, she asked me what needed doing and jotted down my instructions. I just take what I'm doing for granted, but seeing it written down on her list was a surprise. Maybe I'm overcomplicating my daily routine. I think I'll have to review this.
The last of my original three birds died this month. He was five years old and really not having a good time of it trying to come through the moult.
