 Cocoa practised back-riding first in the nesting box. At first, she wasn't very strong and fell off easily. She'd also get cold quickly and start to shiver, and so she'd dive back into the warmth and security of her mother's pouch. She became stronger fast, and soon made a nuisance of herself bouncing around the nesting box while Ginger tried to sleep. In the early trips, Cocoa once fell off the roof onto the balcony with a loud thud. She then made a little distressed noise, or her version of the adult threatening hiss/bark/cough/snore sort of noise that possums make. She managed to scrabble up onto the balcony railing, and from there seemed to become more confident. She seemed to possibly think of GK as some kind of tree, and made some attempts to climb him to get back to the roof. (He is a considerably taller 'tree' than me.) In the end, GK picked her up and put her back on the roof with Ginger. Cocoa main page mp3: |
