New Birds

I'm so very excited to be getting back into the swing of things. September is always a new beginning for me - more so than January 1st.
The summer was great. Our family a few fun getaways. We love spending time in nature - both camping and cottaging. There's nothing quite as nourishing for my soul as a good campfire and sleeping in a tent. However, I really missed my birds and am glad to be not going away from them for the next good while.

The latest arrivals at Heartsong are lovely lovely birds. They are beautiful and cute at the same time. They are gorgeous colours and I can't stop admiring them. What are they?? English Budgies... big beautiful English Budgies. I have three pairs now and they are great!!! If you're not familiar with English Budgies you should be (:>}= They are MUCH bigger than the American - pet shop - version. They are also very calm - which I love. So two pairs will get their nest boxes in October. The other "pair" are too young being only three and five months old. I may end up taming them and just playing with them for about a year as they are simply adorable.
I also have a pair of regular budgies working on their nest. One of those is Stuart and the other is Sunshine. They are both pied and should have some amazing babies. They are going through the cuttle bones like crazy. They are also eating a wide variety of fresh foods as are all the others. Well, all but the new EB's but I will gradually introduce these to fresh foods. First I'm letting them get settled in... and spending a lot of time just admiring them.
