Yes, but these ones were the first, and special.

I hope the crazy weather will settle down soon.

I went to the bird sale for the local avicultural society today. According to dad who mentioned it to some of the other breeders, the sudden cold change has killed off a lot of new chicks and fledglings :(

Unfortunately it happens and we can't do anything about it.

Our Finches and our poodle supply me with an never ending amount of therapy for my stress related depression. Sitting there, throwing the ball for the dog while watching the finches is the best thing ever.

So do I... as I said to Shannylee, a lot of breeders lost chicks and fledglings because of the sudden change.

You are right.
When it comes to crazy weather, there is nothing to be done.
