0401 Chie who is yawning. Chie, Ann and Kuro often yawn like a man. Chie and Ann can't open the mouths so widely because of birds. - 03
|
0402 But Kuro which is a mammal yawns opening a mouth as widely as a man. When they are relaxing, they yawn like a man. All the animals are the same. - 04
|

 |
 |
||||||
|
0403 Chie who is shaking the body - 05
|
0404 One day, Chie was playing near me, pecking lightly the carpet on the floor. - 06
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0405 After a while, I heard a small voice like songs. - 07
|
0406 When I listened to it carefully, I understood it was a voice of Chie. - 08
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0407 She was singing a song happily in a very small voice as if a man was humming a tune. - 09
|
0408 I was surprised to know that a sparrow hums a tune. And I said to her, "You are good at singing, aren't you?"
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0409 She looked at me, as if she is saying, "What is the matter with you?" I have smiled to her in spite of myself.
|
0410 About Chie, Ann and Kuro. Their life space in the daytime, is the same south room. - 12
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0411 In the evening, I put Chie and Ann in the separate cages and make them sleep in the north room. - 13
|
0412 Although Kuro has her own big cage, it is used only in case of emergency. She lives in the same south room all day long. - 14
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0413 In the morning and evening, when Chie has eaten food enough, she turns away her face, as if she is saying "No, thank you." - 15
|
0414 Chie flew up, aiming at the ceiling, and landed on the floor. - 16
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0415 She repeated it many times at the entrance of the door in Sagami-ohno, and at the entrance of the kitchen in Kohriyama. - 17
|
0416 I still can't understand why she did it. - 18
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0417 Every day, Ann comes to my shoulder, pulls out my mustache or my beard. - 19
|
0418 Lately, Chie who was watching Ann's behavior came, began to pull out my mustache. - 20
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0419 However, since I found out that she can't pull out my mustache, I am making her peck my mustache as she likes. - 21
|
0420 When I try to go to the kitchen, she stops me, screaming "Don't go". - 22
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0421 It seems she thinks that I do not return for a long time. - 23
|
0422 She tries to get on my left shoulder desperately. - 24
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0423 She is on my shoulder, hates parting from the shoulder, and screams loudly. - 25
|
0424 She never goes to the kitchen even if the door is open. - 26
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0425 When Chie found a seed of hemp, she comes to my place triumphantly shouting "Ah" because she has the seed in her mouth. - 27
|
0426 She eats the inner part by spinning the seed in her mouth, removing the skin, and using the tongue well. - 28
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0427 She became to be able to eat the seed several days after she had come to my house. - 29
|
0428 At first, she had given up, because she could not tear the hard skin, even if she could find it. - 30
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0429 However, several days later, she became to be able to eat the seed, she was very glad. - 31
|
0430 When Ann had cut the stems of young plants of beans by his mouth, Chie sometimes took, and ate the leaves of them. - 32
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0431 She likes Butter Lettuce the best of all vegetables. "Butter Lettuce" is "Sarada-na" in Japanese. - 33
|
0432 Since she was sick, when I tried to put her to sleep a little early, she stood on tiptoe on the pillow of the bed, and was looking at the outside of the window. - 34
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0433 When I spoke to her, "What are you looking at?", because the scene was unusual, she turned around to me.
|
0434 Her action to eat an apple is fierce. - 36
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0435 She pecks the apple which was cut into 1/4. - 37
|
0436 And she picks off the part little by little and eats it.
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0437 Every day, in addition I divide the apple of 1/4 into the half by the hand, choose the part that has not oxidized, and give it to her. - 39
|
0438 She snatches it from me and holds it in the mouth.
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0439 Next she squeezes it from the edge to the edge by her beak and absorbs only internal fruit juice skillfully. - 41
|
0440 After that, she throws away the remainder. But she occasionally eats everything. - 42
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0441 When she was looking for the food which had fallen on the floor, She found Kuro's big round, firm excrement.
|
04420 She held it in the mouth, and came to my place for showing it with a proud look. - 44
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0443 But I said to her, "It is an excrement of Kuro", and when I took it from her mouth, she protested against me shouting in a big voice, "Jih-Jih" and pecking my fingers.
|
0444 After that, she came not to pick up the excrement of Kuro in the mouth. - 46
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0445 Chie likes mirrors. - 47
|
0446 She sometimes goes to the black board (The appearance reflects like the mirror) under the keyboard of piano, or to the glass doors of the television stand, is talking with the other who reflects there. - 48
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0447 Though Chie is "a sparrow", she has never met "sparrows" since her baby. - 49
|
0448 I think that she is talking with her friend, looking at herself in the mirror. - 50
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0449 While I am making Ann eat supper, Chie has already finished the meal. - 51
|
0450 Next, she drinks water and she is waiting for my work to finish, staying on the dry clay or on the music stand. - 52
