Hi everyone,
Her-B and the Texas Gang all say hi. I must say though, they are a bit nervous in new situations so they've elected me to do the typing. Lucky you, their typing is totally illegible, but they're a little sensitive so don't tell them I told you. Oh look, how cute, they're blushing. :o
Well, as usual, spring has sprung at my house and I have babies! But only three this time. Q.T. and Erin are the proud mamma and pappa (respectively) of two peachie babies, hatched the 9th and 11th of this month. AND our little Her-B's a mom! On May 16, she hatched one baby. Thank god it's just one because she's such a neurotic mother; gee I wonder where she got that from? Anyway, last night I had to clean off Derby's face (my niece named Her-B's hatchling Derby) because Her-B's just a bit zealous in her feeding efforts and completly covered little Derby's beak and eyes, but all is well now. Herb's mate, Peridot, is a bit too guardy and keeps Her-B in the nest box feeding the baby. So, me being the good Nanabird, I have step in every few hours and make sure that Her-B feels the love and gets some fresh air. Ah life.
I am going to take the plunge though and reintroduce the Texas gang to the aviary. I've gotten some diatomaceaous earth and I'm planting some lovie friendly plants in the aviary, I'll post some photos when I get it all put together. It's coming along nicely. Her-B however, will stay in the house as my pet, Derby will be her only baby, ever. :D
Well, the board looks great and I hope to see you all more often, well at least for a little while, I have a month off from school then back at it again. Ah life.
Take Care!
