Maxie says, "Chirpy chirpy thank you!"

She willingly ate 4 bites of hamburger, but said "No, thanks," to the water I offered on the end of a "fancy" (cellophaned) wooden toothpick.

She is not doing any wing-flapping, but is much more alert than before. She is now perched on a stick inside the box.

What? I gotta get up early?

Fine then. For little Maxie I will get up with the birds!

Wish I could find my camera...
