Keets and the Mirror


The keets are growing. They have been in the pen - (as opposed to the diningroom table or the porch in boxes) - for a few days and have gotten used to leaving and entering. We kept them in for a few days, but yesterday we moved their water and food outside, so they go in and out at will.
They continue to be very nervous, and if anyone appears, they crowd in.

They are not very bright, though, and if you hide behind a lattice, you disappear, apparently. Sadly, my camera does not do well at a distance. We'll see what D can get in the next few days.
They are definitely not the prettiest birds on the planet.


One of the articles I read suggested they like looking at themselves in a mirror.
D tried it. When they discovered it, they stood in line and took turns checking themselves out!

In a few more days, we will let them wander a bit farther.
