Hiya Jan,
I have been meaning to catch you up on the Quakers, so here goes.
I think the last you heard was that a snake was in the nest that I let them 
build. I took them out and put them in another cage until I could find out 
how 
the snake got in. Well, I found a place...hoping it's the only one...and 
about 
2 months ago I returned them to their home.
They seemed to be content being back in the house that they had build out of 
twings and branches. But, one day I thought that I saw the nest moving. No!
I wasn't drinking. And sure enough it was. They were changing the entrance by 
moving it about 35 degree around to another side.
Such clever little buggers they are. They did not take the nest apart at all.
They just restructured it by...???? I don't know how they did it. I notice 
that they were also trying to add a roof. Since I had not put any new 
material 
in for them they could not go very far with this new addition. So, I started 
putting in more twigs and branches...some very thin and flexible so that they 
can keep weaving them through the wire.
Watching these Quakers building their own nest has really been a neat 
experience. I wonder what kind of materials they would choose if they could 
get out and pick and choose. TTYL, Fran
