It's me, Phoenix. :)
I hope all is well with all of you.
The bird show last weekend was good. Not as many people as we would have liked, but it still was a good show. I met a lot of interesting people and shared some of my knowledge about birds with others. That is always a good thing!
I met a wonderful lady named Elaine. She is very sweet and made Neal and I feel very good. Thanks, Elaine, for your wonderful comments and support! And we salute your little Quaker too! :)
All the birds are well. Things are progressing slowly with the breeding pairs. The lovebirds had 6 eggs but only 3 hatched. That is not like them as they have previously hatched 5 eggs. Not sure exactly what happened, but, I am currently feeding 3 beautiful babies. I believe the colors will be 1 Dutch Blue, 1 Slate and 1 Peachface. The two older ones are eating approximately 7 cc's and the youngest is eating approximately 5 cc's. I will take a photo tonight and put it on the front page. :)
I believe we may also have some Canary babies soon. And, one of the Gouldian pairs has some babies squeaking in their nest box! I am so excited! It is a bit early, but one cannot stop mother nature.
Scarlet is sitting on two eggs, but I don't think they are fertile. Neal and I are going to check this weekend and then go from there. Cross your fingers!
The Lories have been going in and out of the nest box. I don't think they are ready yet, but we shall see. They are still a bit nervous and I am not going to rush them. It seems that the zoos are buying most of the Lories these days for their exhibits. I guess that is kind of cool. They are great birds after all. I saw a pair I would have liked to have had at the show, but they were sold by the time I went back to get them. Boohoo! Oh well, when it is meant to be, it will happen. :)
This weekend should be good. We are going to help our friend, Corene, move into her new house. I am so excited for her! She has worked hard for this and deserves it! GO CORENE! :)
Well, that is it for now. I will write more next week. Neal and I will work more on the website this weekend and try to add some things we have been working on. Thanks again for your support!
