They're heeeeere
|
Saturday morning we drove to my parents and picked up their SUV to make the trip to Bellevue where we would be meeting our latest addition to the flock. Let me introduce my first breeding pair of Blue Front Amazons, Phil and Jean  Proven by two previous breeders and now they can look forward to living the rest of their lives with us. They need a new cage and I emailed the one BFA breeder I trust asking what kind of cages he use. His birds are in wonderful condition, happy, well taken care of and breed well. So I'll follow his lead and acquiring their new cage is a priority. I want them to be happy and spoiled rotten. They need toys, too. I picked up one for them, but they definitely need more. The little buggers are perch potatoes. Well...most of the time. I haven't decided if I'm going to make their nest box or purchase one, but the cage come first. Breeding isn't a priority right now, getting them happy and comfortable is. All in all I hope they'll be as happy as they were with their previous owners. Amazons are wonderful birds and my favorite parrot breed. I was sure I'd start with a pair of double yellow heads or green cheeks, but when the opportunity presented itself to acquire the lovely pair I couldn't pass it up. You'll be hearing more about them in the future! On a mostly unrelated note, I finally was able to gather my wits and move the turkeys into Mystics pen. Tears fell as I did it, because even though the turkeys will be safer I miss my precious girl. Next the ducks will be moved to the former turkey pen and I have a pair of muscovies coming! I love muscovies! |
