Watch my life unravel...
|
Late yesterday afternoon, GC and I drove out to Woodlawn to pick out our new bird from among five little African Grey baby boys. I’d never been to the breeder’s home before – or any breeder’s home, for that matter – so I was very impressed. First thing we noticed was the yard was full […] Things have been changing fast. 1. Baby Jeebus learned how to fly a few days ago, and was adopted by his new family last night. His new person is a little boy, and his new name is Cuddles. There are parrotlets in his new home, and another lovebird too. (The downside is that the other […] Here are some of my babies. Kazoo and Duncan Baby Birds The theme of the group art show currently at the John Patrick Mills Gallery on Hinchey Street was LOVE. I should have created some living lovebird art. I didn’t think of it until we were already there. Here’s Jennifer, who works at the art program […] It was an accident. I really didn’t mean to throw the baby in the garbage. It’s just that the cage was so poorly designed, and changing the paper has to take place through a little 3-inch square, and herding baby birds is a lot like herding cats.

But I don’t want you all thinking I’m turning into a bird blogger – first of […] The baby birds now weigh 58, 52, 52, 48 and 26 grams. The older ones look like full-fledged birds now and are starting to eat crushed pellets, millet, and veggies chopped into impossibly small pieces. They’re also flapping their wings a lot, which means they’ll be flying pretty soon. Jeebus, while doing better than he […] I was very worried about Sweet Baby Jeebus, the littlest lovebird, who hatched on Christmas Day. Last Tuesday he weighed just eight tiny grams, compared to his siblings who were all at least triple that. One even weighed five times as much! And skinny doesn’t even begin to describe Jeebus. You hear about people being just […] The littlest bird has gone from 10 grams down to 8. It’s scary. I’m not sure he’s going to make it. It took me an hour and 45 minutes to feed them all their first breakfast today, and about 45 minutes of that time was spent on him: 40 minutes trying to coax him to […] GC and I found ourselves out in Manotick the other night, visiting the mansion of people we’ve never met. Why? Because they had a talkative two-year-old African Grey parrot for sale, and I wanted it. The ad said she had an excellent vocabulary, loved singing and dancing, and was friendly and lovable. I was smitten from […] |
