Mic test, one, two! We’re getting ready for a rather ambitious afternoon with Tillie, Pudge and Chip: a proper live stream from the bird household. Before that can happen, though, we’ve got to find out whether any of the sound equipment is going to cooperate.

Mic test number two! Still poking at the setup, because it would be rather silly to broadcast a gang of noisy conures without any of the actual chirping. The birds certainly aren’t short of things to say.

One more microphone test before the big event. The plan is a six-hour afternoon and evening stream, so we’d better get this sorted. Mic test, one, two, three! Stay tuned, everybody!
