All of these pictures span about two hours one evening, and then some pictures in the next morning. It doesn't take her long to really get "into" her work. :)

Here is Abby within a minute of me putting a new box in her cage.

This next one I decided to open the cage door so you can see better!

Here are two videos that you can watch of this saga. The first one is Abby working on her brand new box, with happy hisses. The second one she was too busy to be bothered with the camera, but you can hear our finch Beepers, in the background.

This next video, she's got a good sized hole in the top of the box.

Here is the box a little while later!

These last two videos are of Abby IN her box, digging around, playing with the toys, and chewing them to shreds. Sometimes she shreds the bottom of the box, sometimes she'll just shred the toy pieces, often both!

Next is a picture of the proud Abby with her box behind her.

And two more pictures - one of her giving her feathers a good shake, but I only caught the last part of it, and just one of my sweet girl on her perch.
