Happy Holidays to All!
Hello friends and family! So nice to be a part of your day today. Welcome!
There has been so much going on these days with both Neal and myself.
I have started a new job. I was working at Chief's Bird Cabin but decided that was not the right job for me. But, before that, I was offered a job working as a contract agent for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. And get this, my job is Wildlife capture and release. How cool is that?!
My boss is the best guy ever! He is very funny and understanding and believes in communication.
Now, this job is very sad sometimes. Don't get me wrong. But, I am outside in the sun, can laugh with my boss AND help the wildlife. Yahooooooo!
As for Chief's, I called them Sunday night after I had the final interview and begged them to understand that I had to quit that night. I know it was horrible of me, but I really wanted this job. Chief's is a good place and they take good care of their birds, but, this is so much better for me! I do hope they understood?!
Bobby, the Conure, is doing much better. But, he has some kidney issues. I do not think he will live very much longer. The vet said to try and get him off a high protein diet so his kidneys do not have to work so hard. That is what I am trying to do but geeeeez, it is hard! Bobby has been on this diet of his for YEARS and I have been trying to get him off. HA, he says! Try again! So, we are still working on it and hopefully we will have better luck so he can live much longer!
Everyone else is great! I think we are going to pull all the nest boxes. Nothing is happening at the moment and we are thinking about not breeding any large birds anymore. Just the small guys like the Finches, Canaries, Doves, Button Quail, Lovebirds, English Budies and the Lories. I just have been thinking so much about these large birds and how much they need homes and here I would be contributing to that. It just seems silly. But, we shall see. Let me know if you have an opinion about this! Write me an e-mail.
The show is going to be in February and we are doing our presentation on "Adopting a Bird". It should be great! Please let us know your suggestions on how to make it better! We always love hearing from you!
Neal has been so busy at work! Lots going on with him! Also, he has been asked by a couple of people to do web site work! WOW! Maybe that will bring in some extra money or something. Cool! I think it is a little stressful for him. But, he is so good at it!
Anyway, have to run for now.
Love to all,
Phoenix and Neal
