So re-reading that last post, it kind of sounds like we share a laundry basket, which we don't.

I have started on the pigeons, my job being to weigh them, feed them and give them water every day (to begin with, anyway). As you might imagine, the hardest part of the exercise is catching them. They put up one hell of a struggle, and sometimes end up flying around the room. Pigeons flying around the room, Dr. Buhusi tells me, is not good. He also tells me that the reason we keep the lab doors locked all the time is so that animal rights activists can't get in and let all the animals loose, like in the Rats of Nimh or something.
