I had a pair of Ring-necked Doves for a while. I let them out of their cage about once a week so they could fly around the house. They usually stayed around the same place and nearly always returned to their cage at night. One of them always picked on the other, and the latter died after a while. At the time of my last post in this thread, I still had one, but I sold him because I didn't feel I was giving him enough attention, since the fish interested me more.

I've also taken care of a couple baby blackbirds that fell out of their nests. One died, but another, which hardly had any feathers when we found it, we (my dad and I for the most part) raised it until it grew feathers and was starting to get to active to be safely left in its nest on top of the fridge. We released it and with the coaxing of its parents (I'm surprised sometimes at the concern birds have for their babies) it made it up a fairly large pine tree and rejoined them.

My dad's family (or maybe it was my grandpa's--I can't remember) raised seven baby sparrows, including teaching them how to fly. They went south and returned to the house the following year.

How embarrassing. I can't even remember when my turn is. Yeah, scratch the knight move.

My bishop is currently on 12st and I have another in hand. I'll see if I can find the move that got the former where it is.

EDIT: I see you've found it. Never mind (how long will it take before we make that one word?--I always spell it without a space the first time).

Episode III: Revenge of the Ridiculousness

I think the first one should come after the second one.

In the first one, I think there should be a slightly longer pause after the crunching sounds with the camera still on Padmé, before the camera switches over to Anakin. As it is now, I would expect to see Anakin still leaning towards his alarm clock and it's slightly jarring to see him in the same position as before.

Hopefully that makes some sense.

To be perfectly honest, I'm rather relieved that I'm no longer concealing anything from you since the sum they demanded from me every turn was atrociously high. At least it payed off in the end.

It appears that darth_ender's fears about the treatment of this poor bishop were wholly justified. When he was brought to me during the evening meal and I invited him to join us, he burst into joyful tears at the prospect of a proper meal. His loyalty to my cause is unquestionable and he is eager to have his revenge once he has fully regained his strength.

Moving out of turn...again. :(
