Well...it's been a very crazy month. I've had a couple of family crisis so I've been away from my computer for most of October.
Here it is Halloween already and to mark the day we have a brand new - less than a day old lovebird. I think that this one will be known as "Pumpkin". This little chick looks great and actually quite large for one so young - a real bruiser!
Stuart and Sunshine were taking great care of their clutch of five eggs but alas - they were not viable. That's not unusual for the first time. Sunshine is now sitting on two new eggs - we'll see.
Hedwig and Winston (English Budgies) have six eggs in their nest box - the first having been laid on the 20th of October - good job Hedwig :o)'
On October 5th I acquired a beautiful pair of Splendid Parakeets at a bird show here in Ottawa. They are just as their name suggests - splendid..
I have also just finished making my very first homemade bird cage. it was fun and I still have a couple of finishing touches to add. Two Gouldian finches and two Bengalese finches are living in it so far. As soon as I get a chance I will post pictures of all of the above.
