I try to "bird proof" my home as much as possible. I don't have anything in my house that I would cry over if it got destroyed. My kids are pretty destructive on their own so I don't really worry about the birds. They are my easy pets.

Someone else brought out the point that our birds help us live healthier lives because really if it's bad for them it's bad for us, so did I really need it? Or am I better off without it? So I had to do some mental adjusting and this thought ...

I don't journal so when I ramble on in my blog posts it is because I am trying to keep track of all my training progress and baby bird growth. It's for my personal benefit. If it helps you to, I'm glad.

I am happy things are progressing so well.

Still not sure about bathing the babies yet so I will wait I think till they are 6 weeks old to introduce them to water and encourage them to get wet. ...

I had the babies in a clear plastic box today on the dining table. I call it "their playpen" because it gives them a little room to explore and try big bird food.
