Cats are the Best Manipulators

This is very unusual view for the place where I live, in Italy. In fact, the locals do not have such "cat-dependence" as many of us have. Young persons can allow something like this to their cats - as the owner of this cat do. But it's not normal for most of them. 

I could not understand these persons which did not take in arms, did not caress a cat in their life. And... they can't understand me, who thinks animals are the same as we are. Different species.

My husband could not take a can in his arms, too. Till, one day, he fall in love with this one:

Now, she can do what she wants. And -believe or not believe- she is always a stray cat.
Interesting is that -even if she was spayed, it seems to us she helps other cats to grow their kittens.
Now, she has about 7 years and it seems, she is the only alive from all their generation. Stray cats do not live more than 2-3 years here...

A New Aviary for my Parrots

All my parrots -except Giove and Hera which have 3 eggs and seem to hatch their babies even if I do not understand the system they use for it- received their new aviary, finally. They have not only grass, soil, air and sun. They have even a pool. There are many "houses" and all kinds of food... They could not believe in their fortune. Some of them did not know to fly...

Now, I understand that some of this birds have problems. All of them, except nymphs, are adult. And I did not think the birds can have "human" problems... The Barnardius zonarius barnardi seemed to be dead: he felt down on the ground and remained there without any move for some seconds. He needed an entire day to  turn "normal".Probably, he never lived in free space...

Imagine that some days ago he ate a leave from my hand! He comes near me when I enter inside the aviary. I'm very very touched...
