Catfeeder

My Dad installed a new bird feeder in the Kalyan house a week ago. Despite him changing the water and food everyday, not a single bird visited the bird feeder yet. No,not even a crow. He called Arnav to pour his heart out to him. Arnav had a couple of quick suggestions.

Suggestion 1
Ask the next door uncle to release the African parrots from his Aviary so that they'll come and eat food from the bird feeder. Dad told him this idea was kind of impractical because the chances of the next door uncle letting go of his prized possessions was really low.

Suggestion 2(because the first one was impractical)
Empty the grains from the bowl on the feeder. Fill the bowl with Milk. Call the apparatus it a Cat feeder.Dad was speechless.

I continue to be amazed with the kid.

School of Fish

Arnav's Black Molly fish gave birth to little baby fish. On my advice, he removed the other big fish from the fish tank and kept them in a separate bucket so that the little ones would live unharmed (read would not be regarded as fish food by the other big fish).

So now his fish tank had 29 little dot sized black mollies swimming around. He called me later in the day and sounded super excited. He said his baby fish were really intelligent. I asked why. Apparently, he had written 'School of Fish' of a piece of paper and stuck it on the fish tank like a little notice board. He tells me, all the baby fish went and sat under that notice. They knew it was a school notice for them.

Intelligent fish. Cutest Nephew.
