Too Hot for Me and the Birds!

We have a bird show this weekend and neither me or the birds are in the mood. Although budgies are native to Australia, the birds we have bred for show over the years are no longer native desert birds. The heat bothers them just as much as it can bother us.

And for the Puget Sound area we are having a real hot spell. Cliff Mass’s blog says that we are, “going for over 100F tomorrow...and Thursday as well.” 100º F is apparently the highest ever recorded temperature for Seattle since they’ve been keeping records. So we’re are very likely to break that record in the next couple of days.

I find I’m spending most of my time in the basement of our house where it is probably 20 degrees cooler then upstairs. Good thing the basement is finished and the computers and main TV are in the basement.
