We had a good first night, even if our People didn't sleep with us. We don't understand why they would want to rough it in that funny house of theirs when they could join us in ours!
They also seem a bit lazy in the getting up routine. We had to shout at them to let down the drawbridge this morning . But at least they did give us a bit more of that boring food. We were starved!
Afterwards we went back up and had a little snooze. We decided to surprise them with a couple of eggs. We don't want them getting too dependant on us thinking that we are laying for them, we just thought we would give them a couple to keep them happy.
For some reason the big Person didn't collect them straight away. Very strange. It went back inside and left us, so we pottered about planning our escape. We shoved a bit and found that one end of the accommodation was a bit loose and pushed it over.
Then the little Person came out. We think he must be really lazy because he didn't appear until the sun was directly overhead. The first thing it did was make funny noises at us, then it looked in the nest box. 'Bout time someone collected those eggs. His face made a sort of funny grimace when it saw the eggs. Who knows what that was all about. Was it happy that we gave them two eggs, or sad, or angry? These People sure don't seem to know how to express themselves!
We were just about to make our escape at that point, so they stopped us, but then must have had second thoughts, and opened the other end of the accommodation. It was as if they thought that if they didn't let us out that end, we wouldn't know that we could get out that end. What silly people. We know we can get out both ends!
So free at last. We don't know what took them so long to let us out. It isn't as if we don't know the deal. We wonder around eating slug and snails and other delicious things, and they get a few eggs.
The People have a lovely shady patch just outside our house, but we think that they don't know much about gardening because there is a lot of moss. We don't mind, as it hides lots of buggy things and can result in a lovely dust bath too.
We found out a bit more about the People's accommodation. We thought it was a flat thing, but it turns out that it is really quite big and has a front and back and you can walk through it. We didn't think much of all the plastic bugs on their floor though as we couldn't eat them.
Later on we decided to play hide and cluck. We had followed the big Person down to the bottom of the grounds, and then they went back to the home to look at the end that we pushed out of, then disappeared into their own shabby house (it doesn't even have straw in it!) so we decided it was a good opportunity to hide. They found two of us straight away, but the other two of us managed to keep them seeking for some time. When we thought they had given up, we went back to slug hunting, only to find that we had been outsmarted; they quickly saw us as they had been waiting inside their house for us to come out.
The little person treated us again to some worms. It really does know the way to a hen's heart. But there was this little tinkling noise at the same time. We are not sure what they are up to, but something strange is going on.
The People also finally called us in the correct way. A little corn rattled in a cup is the signal that there is something for us at the house, and they finally figured this out. Not too smart these People as we had been trying to tell them that all day.
They also have this big black thing that clicks, which they say take photos. We have asked them to put our portraits up on our blog, but they have given some excuse about not having enough USB ports to make it work properly.
Well, we did say they were a little dim!
