Loco, Meet Ike

Well, today is a big day for Loco. We are in our house in Houston awaiting the arrival of that swirling badass known as Hurricane Ike.

So far, Loco is pretty much taking it in stride. He has been relatively patient as he spent most of the day in his cage while we made a few preparations...moving the stuff outside, taping the windows, relocating the finch cage from in front of the window, etc.

However, I feel compelled to point out that Loco is generally a pretty patient bird. One day this week, I accidentally left him covered until 4:00. He just gave me a look that said, "It's about time."

He did have one moment earlier when one of the first gusts of wind rustled the trees in the back yard. Loco flew off his perch. I am pretty sure he wanted us to think he was blown off. Loco, I am not that stupid. Shlomo is, I am not.
