well, after all that talk of "branchies", now it seems I've got one!

erm, don't really know what to do with it!

It's one of this years obviously, it's been sitting in my old cage looking sorry for itself, eating MY catfood and raisins if you please!

It doesn't squawk, hardly even makes any noise when it's eating!

If I see it with MY PEOPLE too much I'm going to peck it (I'm already more nasty than usual with the dogs and cats, everyone really needs to be put in their place around here, it's a madhouse!!).

It's called Ambrosius, well, I won't know if it's a boy or girl anytime soon so it's Ambrosius for now,

I might be friend's with it, we'll have to wait and see...

as Merlin said, we've got stuck with a "Branchie" who is called Ambrosius, he (or it) is very quiet, a bit nervous and needs alot of looking after. He (or it) perches very nicely on the arm except his (or it's) claws are very sharp at the moment, we did try re-patriating it to the garden but it fell in the pond and nearly drowned!

Merlin is a bit annoyed and put out and is being more nasty than usual but he seem's to be thinking about being friends with it which I think will be a good experience for him if it works out.
