Goldie's coop sat in a den/TV room. I noticed one day that Goldie was positioning herself to see the TV from her cage. She seemed particularly fascinated with Sponge Bob cartoons. Sure enough, everytime Sponge Bob came on, Goldie would be standing in the corner of her cage where she had the best unobstructed view of the TV and watching intently! |
I was so shocked to see her nestled up against that big dog. That's when I realized that she needed to cuddle when she slept. So, I searched around the house for something about her size and found a little stuffed moose. I placed it in Goldie's cage. When I put her in with the moose, she made that familiar little trill sound that told me she was very happy. She went over to the moose which was placed next to the side of the cage where she slept every night and laid her head on the stuffed antler. She stayed that way for a long time...not moving, just delighting in this new friend to cuddle with. Goldie slept each night thereafter with her head laying on the moose. |
