Bewildered Bird

Thankfully, the flock are all gathered together again now and things seem back to normal. Earlier today I didn't know what was going on, whether it was day or night or whether the sky was going to fall in on me...
It was night time and I was snuggled into my birdy-buddy asleep and then suddenly it all went pear-shaped. This beak-shattering noise started that sounded like an enormous mean bird screeching. Then my humans took my cover off and it was light like day. They put me in the other room...where it was night time! All the time the noise was going on! I was terrified! Then, get this, they left me alone! I couldn't cope! I was flapping about all over the cage and the noise was going on and then Martin and Michele told me it was all ok, and left again. They said something about a "firelark" or something. Must have been the name of the huge mean bird or something. He sounded really angry. And they left again! Well, I was so scared. We're supposed to be a flock aren't we ? Aren't we supposed to stick together in times of Firelark attack ?
Then the noise stopped and I began to settle down. I was totally confused though. Was it night, day or in between ? I'm a bird for god's sake! I have a routine! How do I start ? Then the firelark started again! It was awful!

Eventually Martin and Michele came back in and gave me some seeds...and Honey Treat! Yay! But it's only now that I'm getting my birdy bearings back. I feel sleepy, but I'm not going to bed tonight I think. In case the firelark comes back. I have to protect Martin and Michele you know. Even though I still think they're planning to towel me and take me to the vet. Hmm..Honey Treat...
