I know how that feels! I have about 21 babies in the bedroom now.
There's the big baby (nearly grown and already talking Yellow Crown
Amazon), a pinfeathered Blue Front Amazon, a naked Red Bellied Macaw,
two almost feathered Severe Macaws, two pinfeathered Rainbow lories, a
dusky conure, two young pied tiels, four keets, an almost weaned blue
crown conure, and five green cheeked conures that should already be
weaned, and the recuperating white eye conure that the cat got ahold of
and bit last month who is sitting here waiting to be handfed still and
has been munching lately on raisin cookies and today pita bread. Plud my
pet quakers who have chosen today to rise to new decibel levels,
something they don't often do. They usually speak people talk, not
quaker squawk.But not today. Bozo's on a roll.
Soon, I'll have two nanday babies and a "mystery" conure, something I
forgot to label in the incubator. A conure of unknown origin! I fostered
it to the nandays with their babies but really am not sure what it is.
It is probably a dusky but who knows, yet? Myold white eyes are due to
hatch four babies soon. I think the duskies cracked their last clutch
and the quakers also have eggs. So this is considered a slow time and
will pick up a bit again soon.
Right now I am laughing. Ed is feeding babies on the bed and one of the
little green cheeks is chasing the Yellow Crown Amazon all over the
place, totally fearless of something five times as large as it is. Ihad
to put one of the little green cheeks up on top of my head as she is
being a bully to the bigger bird.
Well, TTYL!
