Hello Faithful Followers! :)
I hope this blog finds all of you doing well and getting ready for another weekend.
Neal and I are well. Getting ready for the show this weekend in Green Cove Springs. We have had to do some last minute changes on things and are still rushing to get things ready to go, but I think it will be ok. I have had to work a few more days this week and so the time I would have spent getting things ready for the show was not available. That's ok, I love my job!
As for Scarlet and Boo, she has laid two eggs! I am so excited for them! I am hoping the eggs are fertile, but I don't think they are. It's ok, we can try again. Neal and I will candle the eggs in about a week or so and then decide what we will do.
The lovebird babies have all been born and are doing well. I am currently handfeeding two of them. They are eating about 4 cc's or so. They are so adorable! They are just now starting to cry for their food at the regular feeding times. It is funny how they know when to start crying. They are going to be so friendly and I hope they all get good homes.
We have added some new items to the Bird Resource pull-down menu. There is a new category for Bird Species Info and one for Bird Species Pics. I am not through adding photos though. Keep checking back as photos will be added as time allows. I hope the two lists will help people. I am always getting asked for photos of specific birds at work and so I thought these would help a lot of people.
I am also writing new articles on some interesting topics. I hope to have them updated to the site soon. Also, if you have a special request for the site, please let us know. I want to make this site a great place for people to come and learn about bird care and to ask whatever questions they want. Thanks to all who have been so wonderful in continuing to come and visit. We appreciate your support!
Neal is going to be implementing a new Shopping Cart soon. We think it will help a lot with purchases of food items. Hopefully that will be done very soon.
We are also thinking for future shows, it might be a nice idea to give a lecture on "Before You Buy a Bird". You know, just some basic steps a person needs to do before they purchase a bird. I think it is a great idea and can't wait to see if we can do it. The only thing is that I will be very nervous when I get up to talk. I have never been good at talking in front of a bunch of people. However, this is something I love and know about so I think it will be a lot easier and not as nerve-racking!
I guess that is it for now. I will write more next week and let you all know about the show and how we did. Keep your fingers crossed!
Thanks again for your support and keep coming!
Phoenix and Neal
