But they did have a couple of hours al fresco over the weekend, when brownies baking in a nonstick pan required their temporary removal from the hook in the kitchen they call home. (Nonstick coatings can be lethal to birds.)
The daring duo seemed to like it outside. They surveyed the backyard, reveled in the oppressive humidity, and sought each other's company when the bluejays squawked.
It was a brief change of scene, but sometimes that's all you need!
