I sold two baby birds yesterday. I had such mixed feelings about it. It’s not like I wanted to keep them – frankly, I’m feeling a bit overrun with birds these days. I was relieved that the bird population was dropping from nine to seven. But I felt so sad for them, being taken away […]

Watch my life unravel...

Does anyone else feel that this winter is whizzing by? Usually by February 1st I feel like winter’s been going on forever and I feel totally mired in it and I’m miserable and calculating how many days til I think it might end. I’m usually sick of all the layers and the cold and […] First, a little background: Of the three six-month old lovebirds, Oboe has his own cage, and Piccolo and Banjo share a cage. Banjo has been impossible to live with lately. She’s been aggressive to both me and Piccolo. She bites easily and she bites hard. I can’t even put food in the cage while she’s in […] 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. So if you’ve ever thrown your baby […]
You can see Jeebus’ orthopedic device in this picture I’m basically lurching from one bird cage to the next, feeding, cleaning, cuddling and talking to birds all day long, so I haven’t got much to blog about, except birds. But I don’t want you all thinking I’m turning into a bird blogger – first of […] 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 […] Blah. I’m still sick. The animals are all wondering why I don’t talk to them anymore. It’s because I lost my voice. First it got husky and sexy, and then it turned squeaky with missing parts, and then it disappeared altogether. I think it’s from all the coughing. I think I’m on the mend though, […] Yesterday I was sick. It hit me very suddenly at 10:30 in the morning. I spent the day in my pajamas on the couch, trying not to throw up. I feel marginally better today. In the afternoon I got an email from that job I’ve been after – the one where I’ve been taking all those […] My three little lovebirds are teenagers now. They’re not as sweet as they used to be, but they’re still lovable. Piccolo is the boss bird. He likes Banjo and he’s aggressive towards Oboe. He doesn’t hurt Oboe, he just chases him away. (Banjo chases Oboe away too, but not as consistently as Piccolo.) Piccolo and […] |
