Tussy the Canary

A little canary raised by a friend then came to join us after Blackie and like Blackie, he is also a big personality in a small body and lets his wants be known by sitting near a usual spot for a bath or a treat.

A little souvenir hat hanging sideways from a ceiling playground is the favorite spot where we can count on finding Tussy settled down in each night at bedtime. We just reach in & pick him up & put him in his cage. He just keeps hoping that we'll let him stay there.

Tussy was raised by a good friend of mine and handled often as a baby and allowed to fly free in a bird room during the day. It was easy for him to adjust to our home where he spends his evenings flying from favorite spot to favorite spot.

Tussy kept going to the pole lamp to sit near the light bulbs. I worried about him next to those hot bulbs so I'd chase him away over & over again. He kept going back & sometimes the little sneak got there when I wasn't in the room so I finally decided that he must know what he's doing so I let him enjoy himself. He'll suddenly fly away with a little cheep. I know he's gotten hot enuf.

Tussy loves to sit on the windowsill in the evenings when the lights are on...his reflection is in the window & I fancy that he enjoys seeing the little canary there.
