Subject: Messing with the Subject's head

We continue to mess with the Subject's head. "Nap time" is, as she says, "a hoot." The Red-fronted, Blue-fronted, and Napeless Aliens grind their beaks and do one-footers. The Scarlet Alien does a one-footer, but keeps her eyes open, at least the eye facing the Subject. ;)

After the allotted time for sleeping, the Subject puts us on our assigned "play places." As soon as the Scarlet Alien sets her foot on her swing, she says, "Night night" and does a one- footer. This greatly confuses the Subject.

The Subject has gone to great length to research this behavior. We resemble a species on earth called birds, and the Subject reads all she can about them. She told a friend that birds in the wild flock together. At night they perch on a tree limb. All the birds close their eyes except the one next to the tree and the bird at the end. The bird next to the tree leaves his left eye open and watches for danger from that direction. The bird on the end leaves his right eye open and watches for danger from that direction. After a short period of time, these two watch birds fly up in the air and light again in a different place on the perch. Thus, there are two new watch birds and all the birds get a good night's sleep.

The Subject is convinced that the Scarlet Alien watches for danger while the other "birds" sleep, then sleeps as soon as the other "birds" wake up. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You gotta love 'em.

Dot,

You are hilarious....

But on a serious note, I have 1 bird out of 4 that DOES NOT sleep at night. Or at least, I have never seen him sleeping. Every time I get up to the little girls room (I pass by his cage on my way) I see him there, and he is asking for scritches or stretchinig EVERY TIME! This greatly confuses me as I know that birds LOVE to sleep, and they do it A LOT. The other 3 definately sleep, one footer, eyes closed, and they will complain till they are covered. The too will scream all night if covered....

I think I have an alien too!

Julie and Larry, how I hate to even address this. ;) I tired to talk about this earlier and ended up saying (I think) that these funny posts show the differences between us. :wtl: The silly posts points out behavior they have that we recognize and comment on once someone else mentions it. Did I get it right this time? I don't proof read. I did that for too many years. If I messed up again, I'll take a flight :alien:then come back and try it again. :dancered:
