12-8-12 And Here Come Fremont

Mickaboo xmas party we talk with John about Niki.She is 2 years old and maturity kicked in. She is getig really bitchy and acting unusually tempered. John mentioned about a baby unfortunately a PA waiting for him.  Couple day later we got an email from him. Adoption fall true and he was asking us do we want Fremont.

Answered was yes of course. Charley picked him from Berkeley Saturday morning. He is shy but not wild. Already accepts shoulder surfing, little bit suspicious about hands but not afraid about people.
He still doesn't have full red cap. We arrange the cage and immediately we realized he is not like cages at all. His wings are clipped but he is still fly a little. We decide to keep Niki and Fremont separate for a while. Even thou Fremont was John`s house more than 6 weeks and he had a clean bill from Bird Hospital.
She just came to room on Charley`s shoulder saw  Fremont and when she return to her cage directly went to her water cup and took a bath. It was unusual. I told Charley I can bet with him Fremont is HE.

11-11-12 Loma came as a friend for Sammy

Loma is a show girl.One of the Skansen dogs. She was pretty unlucky, unfortunately she couldn't get pregnant and ended with a young lady. After few years her conditions changed and she gave Loma to her father. Father had a farm she had chance to roam around freely till he killed couple chicken. She ended in a small kennel and her only fun was eating. She came over weight hardly moving situation. She had a broken spirit. Her tail was not wiggling , her ears were dropped and head always down. Only problem with Loma some odd reason she come out and directly goes a rug and piddle. We couldn't solve why. She is a sweet girl 8 years old. Probably not in a good health. But she tried so hard to fit in our house. Sammy act like a gentleman but totally ignored her from the first day. Loma lost at least 5 pounds more happier but after a month situation didnt change. Probably she will go back Skansen. But at least she had a god time.

11-30-12 Another pair

For the first pairs Honeymoon period they were so silent and nice we volunteered for another pair too.

Maddy and Laddy came from an old lady that her mother was a Turk. They are pretty wild and their cage was half full with seeds and 5 eggs on the bottom. We had that silent period with them too. But now home full with bird chirps:)

11-18-12 Little ones

When Fred was desperately looking for fosters for the Love Birds I couldn't resist. I did know we will get some fosters because renovation is finished at least Lovies the little ones look like a less work.
I am not ready for another Meyer like Indi to attack me or grind fingers.

These are Willow & Emerald. They were pretty shy first couple days. We went to Tracy to pick them up and met with Sue Walter`s and her son.
Their cage is not too big and as a pair they require just one service for food and cleaning:)
