Hi All.
Heading off to a Feather Fest/Bird Show/BBQ/Pot Luck.....
It's the first we have ever had in our area and I have to say I'm a little excited. ... ok, more than a little
Wish me luck with finding the male Gouldian that I'm looking for , and that I don't come home with a gizzilan birds that I really don't need .

Ooh, jealous! Take me! LOL

Ha -- good luck with not taking home a gazillion birds! I bet you'll have a lovely time!

Have a great time!!!

Will you let me know if you find any continental CFWs?

Good Luck! I came home from our bird mart today, with four new birds that I didn't plan to take home. And, I didn't sell any of the juveniles, as I couldn't part with them. LOL.

lol sounds too familiar.

Hi to all.
Finally managed to drag my self home by the hair on my head. I am tired, but I have a smile on my face and a lighter wallet.

Yes! I found my little Gouldian boy friend for Mirrim. He is just as young as she is and a normal like her. He is handsome and sweet and still has a couple of whiskers from his baby molt. Compare to him, my Jaxom looks like the jolly green giant.

Then, I saw two cute little Zebra girls for my two bachelor single boys. One is a half grown CFW. And one looks more or less like a gray but has a sort of peach coloured belly and somr rusty peach in her wings. Just what I needed, more Zebras, but got tired of the three boys squabbling over one girl.

Then, I put in a couple of bids in a silent auction. Didn't get the couple of gold breast waxbills, but ended up with a bonded couple of Shaft Tails for $35.00.

I resisted the budgies (didn't really like the colours)
I resisted the canaries (eventhough they were lovely)
I resisted the Cordons and Fire Finches (too expensive)
Lots of Javas, but not my cup of tea.
Many pigeons, some the like I had never seen before.
Gorgeous Love Birds (some pure white) but over twenty years of them... well, been there, done that.

To answer the continental cfw question. I don't think there were any.
Anyway, I had a blast. Great day, full of fun.

Sounds like it was a lot of fun. I'm a little jealous.
Thanks for answering the question about the CCFW. I'm going to keep asking until I find my way to one

Sounds like lots of fun! Can't wait to see pictures!!

Hi.
Right now all the 'newbies' are sleeping and comfortable. Made sure they all ate and drank as much as they wanted. The pair of Shaft tails actually had a thoroughly enjoyable bath (in the water dish of course).
I will post names and hopefully some pictures in the next few days, once everybody is more settled in.

Hi Folks.
My newest feathered kids are doing well, with the exception of one of my new little Zebra girls. She seems very quiet and subdued, sitting in one of the seed containers. She eats occasionally, but stays there, only moving when someone else wants a snack. Very strange behaviour for a zebra. I hope she ill be ok.

The rest of the bunch are doing very well.

We finally have names folks.
The lovely Shaft tails, are Holly and Hunter.
The pretty baby Zebra girls, are Talia and Millie.
And the wee little Gouldian boy, is known as Tiny for now, because he's still tiny, compared to our boy Jaxom. He has started singing already by the way, so I guess he feels at home.

Pictures still coming. For some reason I'm getting blurry pictures right now, so have to fiddle around with settings and what not.

Great names! Do you have an iPhone? If so tap the screen to focus better.

Oh congrats on all the new birds. I didn't realize you'd gotten so many.

delray
Thanks Brian. Going to try for some better picts tomorrow.
