Good Morning, Folks!
Sorry about not writing in so long. A lot is going on in our lives and we have not kept up to date.
Well, first things first....
We are trying to find a home. Yes, it is true. We have to be out of our house by May 1st and we have been trying to find a place to call ours. The market is really good for buyers right now so there are a lot of homes out there for sure. We have looked at several. There was one we really liked but it was in contract with another person. It is a Craftsman home and is so awesome. But, that one is out unless the contract folds. So, the past few weekends we have been house hunting. Today, we are going again. This time we are looking in Mt Dora. There are a lot of homes there which have land with them. Not a lot of land, but enough to build some aviaries on. Yahooooo!
We are also going to be starting a group called, SOAR... which stands for Society of Avian Rescuers. We are going to be a not-for-profit organization that helps birds. I am so excited and cannot wait until it gets off the ground. Neal has been doing a lot of research and such to get started. There is, of course, a lot of paperwork to fill out and forms to look over. But, it will be worth it in the end. Can you believe it?????? A rescue!!!!! For Birds!!!!! What a great thing!
As I have stated before, we were thinking about not breeding parrots. So, I think we have come to the point where we will not be doing that. There are just too many out there who need good homes. As for our Finches and Canaries, we will still breed them, but in moderation. Or, as little as THEY will allow us to do. They are very good at getting their groove on, so to speak. But, there are some things we can do to limit their success.
All the birds are doing well. I did find out that Bobby has cancer. Yes, it stinks! I was so upset when the vet called and told me. But, we are making his life as comfy as possible and giving him whatever he needs. He seems to be very happy, but does get sleepy a lot and is kind of slow sometimes. I feel so bad for the little guy and wish I could have saved him a long time ago. But, it was not meant to be until it was. I am so glad we rescued him because at least he has a chance now. He would not have had that before.
We have some baby Gouldians and Canaries available. It will be a while before the babies color up, but they are gorgeous now. They are for sale. So if you are interested, please contact us.
We are doing a show next weekend in Palmetto, Florida. Should be a good one. We have never been there and are excited to be a part of it. Then, there is another show the following weekend. We have been so busy preparing for them. So much stuff to do and not enough time. Ugh! I hope you will be able to join us at the shows!
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for checking in with us and keep coming back.
