> Hi Dia...its been a long time.....I too have my birds
 
glad to see you're still alive and kicking...
 
I just had a chicken I THINK had pox...amnot sure cause I never had pox 
before....coudln't find a chicken vet so I treated her myself and she's ok 
but it scared me....With all best intentions on my part  I have neighbors 
that aren't as concerned as I am...one breeds flies by the thousands..at 
certain times of the year  everything is crawling with them.
 
I worry about the birds inside too...I have cats that are inside outside and 
the back sliding glass door is always open so they can come and go as they 
please...no screen so critters always have free access...I was thinking maybe 
of putting a bug zapper right near that door..sort of a "welcome" mat for 
them ....I know it catches flies but I didn't know if mosquitoes were just 
too little, too mean or just wasn't attracted to light...more attracted to 
blood..
