Autumn is coming. / 食欲の秋

Autumn is coming. In Japan we say that we tend to eat more in autumn. There are some reasons behind it, but now let me talk about Namihei. Yes, she wants to eat more and more.
Last night I came home late and felt sorry for Namihei, as she was waiting for me. So I gave her more seeds than usual and she finished them quickly. Yet she seemed to want more. I don't want her to starve, but I cannot let her get chubby. It's always difficult to think of the balance.

 食欲の秋、ですね。秋になるとどうして食欲が増すのか、諸説ありますが、ここでは波平の話です。そう、なみちゃんも、「もっと食べたい」傾向にあるんです。
昨晩、残業で帰宅するのが遅くなり、待たせてしまったなみちゃんがかわいそうで、ついつい多めにシードを与えてしまったんです。すると、すぐにたいらげてしまって、まだ欲しそうにしている様子。なみちゃんが餓えてしまうのは嫌ですが、太らせてしまうわけにもいきません。バランスが、大事なんですよねぇ。
