Upcoming Events

I've been wanting to build an aviary ...but then we filed our taxes, and it looks like buying one might be in my direct line of site. I've been looking at this beauty:



Its selling for just under $200 and it would generously house the small flock I have right now. Inside height is just a tad over 2ft and its about 5ft long. That, along with the multitude of other cages I've collected, should be enough to really jump start my dream aviary. I know I'm not rich, and I know I don't live in a palace, but it'll be a start and something I can delve into and enjoy.

Theres been a less than exciting update on the eggs. None of them have made it...but thats alright. The cutthroats have been nesting again and I feel another clutch won't be far off. This time I'll be minding my own business and leaving them alone. That way I'll know its nothing I've done...its just that they're inexperienced. Thats alright. I'm in no hurry. They've got the food they need and the space, now it's just a waiting game. They're currently both settled down into the nest and its only midday. I'm too afraid to look.

Mihah has been doing well. I've put her in with Native and Target and she's pretty happy in there. No one picks on her. I know she's in with a male zebra but if they have eggs, they'll have eggs. She's about old enough now. I haven't seen any nesting behaviors though.

A friend of mine knows someone who needs to rehome their finches. I'm very tempted...very. But really, I don't have the room. Ok, thats a lie. I have 2 cages I'm not using...but I made it a point to narrow my birds down to only 3 cages. I still don't know what type of finches they are, so maybe it won't even matter...and maybe they'll be asking too much for me to want them. I'd like another female zebra but I want to be picky about the color.

My husband assures me that I need to leave one cage open because theres going to be a "surprise" coming this Saturday.

I'm wondering what he's been up to!
