The final Rodin version makes the robe mythical.Ian Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596558654735506132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13388361.post-6088661114861465512009-07-24T12:19:01.530-07:002009-07-24T12:19:01.530-07:00Lester went to stay at his vet, which also boards ...Lester went to stay at his vet, which also boards birds (but also sometimes lizards, snakes, rabbits, and other small mammals). He gets a large cage, which I arrange with all of his favorite toys. He gets to come out every day, and he can flirt with everyone who works there and all the other birds staying there. The African Grey who lives at the office most of the time actually recognizes and greets Lester when he comes in.<br /><br />Lester can't say so directly, but he doesn't seem to mind going there. He often comes back with variations in his vocalizations, which means that he's trying to identify and impress the other birds/people there, which is something he wouldn't do if he were unhappy.<br /><br />But I'm glad that we're all back in the same apartment now!K.
