I haven't written on my blog for awhile either, I got fascinated by Facebook. <br /><br />Anyway, my caique Gizmo went through the same thing again this year...layed an egg, sat on it for about 2 weeks, LOUDLY SCREECHING the whole time. It almost drove me crazy, literally, I had to escape to a room in the opposite end of the house to keep my sanity.<br /><br />She's OK now though. I have never had a male, but I'm not sure I would get another female. She's very sweet the rest of the year, so it's worth it, but while the screeching is taking place, it's hard to remember that!!!Sonjahttp://jackalope.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070053671376569995.post-54828958671733023852008-11-19T09:59:00.000-08:002008-11-19T09:59:00.000-08:00Best In Flock -- I think she really enjoyed the ap...Best In Flock -- I think she really enjoyed the apple. Of course, I've tried other types since then and she won't eat them. And the type she ate was an heirloom one from my apple CSA that I'll probably never have again!<BR/><BR/>I don't think she's as devious as Alex was. She'll often say "want some" for something and change her mind once it's offered :)<BR/><BR/>Sugar Selections -- As I put in today's entry, I want to try to make that, too. I found a few recipes online. Good luck with yours!<BR/><BR/>DweezelJazz -- she has since spurned apples, so it was a momentary thing. Bananas are high on Max's list, though.<BR/><BR/>Sammi -- we bought a CD that was rock-ized classical music. It was great! It's in Thomas's car. I'll have to reclaim it, now that you've put the idea in my head :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645791926538907697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070053671376569995.post-63075881496752713232008-11-19T06:16:00.000-08:002008-11-19T06:16:00.000-08:00Tell Thomas that he just doesn't appreciate good m...Tell Thomas that he just doesn't appreciate good music. =P<BR/>(I personally like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's performance of Beethoven's 5th.

I found a recipe for apple butter where it cooks all day in the crock pot, you puree the results, and then can. The main problem is that I can't find any canning jars.Sugar Selectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035186548606092512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070053671376569995.post-80861592344642540532008-11-18T14:40:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:40:00.000-08:00"Want some!"... aw, how cute.

I also like my fruit desserts with less sugar, so you can taste more of the real flavor.
