All the Birds

First the Twits

There's currently ten twits. I call them that because they're flighty, kinda stupid, and twitter a lot. The 3 canaries aren't too bad, they figure things out, but the seven finches (two zebra, two green singers, and three society) are really mindless fluff heads. Currently none are breeding. The old ones are too old and the young ones are too young. The older cages are in storage since I built this one. I can't reach all parts of it so another door will have to be carved into it. That won't look as pretty sadly but what can you do? I might find a cage door from a broken cage to use and keep it pretty. I also need to look into a net for catching birds as sometimes you just have to handle them. I hope they don't have fights, that would be disastrous if I have to take someone out. The twit thumbnails open links to larger versions. The parrots below the twits are Petey, a senegal I've had long enough to be friends, and Sam, a Timneh I haven't. Sam has bounced from home to home being mismanaged so badly that he's a problem child. We're working on it but you really have to be brave, steadfast, and patient, when dealing with an animal this bright and sensitive. Yes he talks, a lot, and it's very funny.

Two big cages in the kitchen	Nice blue cage huh?	Aren't they pretty?
	This is the new aviary made of lumber and a new cockatiel cage dismantled. Nice eh? They're happier and more fun to watch now.

Sam Bird

aka Sir Chompsalot

Hi, My name is sam!	I hate black hands and gloves.	I think I see the problem here, ma'am.
Ahhh, scritchies...	Look what the rabbits did to this floor!	I'm handsome, aren't I?
How about on this side?	This is my vulture look.	See my goth cape? Very vamp!
But hey, I'm loveable.	This was day one in the new home, September 2007.	I felt scared and imprisoned again.
But I sure was curious about the new folks.	What?	I like climbing on the bunny stuff.
