Do you have room for me!!! I want to go! Got room in the glove box???

There is no way they would have fit - maybe with cages in their laps and mine

Hey - Donna your a birdie Grandma now - Cherry babies

They are feeding the little stinkers... so it seems they are doing fine with their babies - rough start but they pulled it together

Speaking of babies - there is a nest that had N I N E CB eggs in it and they were ALL fertile! And, I checked last night and I no longer saw eggs but black and pink babies with fuzz everywhere

I really don't even know how many are in it !!! They have feather doors and the hole to the nest is maybe an 1" wide - and there is no way to see in it but thru that impossible little opening! I guess I won't be banding those babies!

Congrats on your new chicks and eggs... also congrats on you new species...whatever it may be.... my guess is bourke, scarlett or turquoise.... maybe even a caique or my next venture..... a hawk head???
Sounds like you two were the 'girls' at the fair

I agree Donna, always more fun to attend the fairs with a good bird friend

As a matter of fact the reason I traded my BMW for a van was due to bird shows.... needed that room

Oh...I have an idea...rent a tractor trailer with climate control!!!!! You could fit a lot of seed, cages and lots of birds in it...maybe a few finch forum friends inside!!!!

Then again you might have to build another building for the contents of the inside of the truck!!!!!

Wow... can't even dream about bird fairs of that caliber happening in THIS area. Ya'll are so blessed!

Misty, I'll be waiting with baited breath to hear about your changes and the new birds! Can't wait!

Awesome CB's you have - congratulations TIMES 9

And for the Cherries too!!

Well I couldn't stand it anymore I had to move feather doors to see babies!

I washed my hands and then went and put my hands in seed and got that smell all over my hands and then went to look at the CB babies - THEY ARE FEEDING! I can't tell how many babies are in that nest but I saw at least two full crops!!!

$\:D/$ I'm so excited - finally I will have parent raised CB babies!

Which also means because of where this nest is - I have to put some of these changes on hold! Never a dull moment!

Thanks everyone ;)

Cindy - Thank God I live in a gated community with lots of rules... I've built all I can on my property

Anna - the Atlanta area has fairs almost monthly - there is another fair coming up in three weeks!

It really is crazy! And, the fairs are usually packed with people each and every time too.

Misty, you are lucky your gated community allows you to build...ours will not!!!

MLaRue · Post by **MLaRue** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 8:26 pm

That is Florida for you though - small properties (mainly) well where I'm from anyway but most will allow you to at least build some kind of "shed" except ours looks like a house.

The property I had in Florida actually had a huge backyard and I even had plans for an aviary out there but we ended up moving to Georgia so I never made it that far... I would have had flights galore out there too - plenty of room

We have a huge corner lot...deep to the right side (plenty of room for a nice building) but we are not allowed to build a separate building, it can be part of the exisiting structure or within the pool/patio area. You have to go through approvals, plans, permits, inspections!!!!!

That stinks! But you could do a beautiful sun room kind of thing ;)

I can't stand it anymore! I have to share now

Meet Sinatra and Streisand

And, their newest beautiful baby!

I love these Canaries - their colors and stripes are the most beautiful I've seen in a long time!

I should also mention they are excellent eaters and this male has 100 and 1 different songs! Everything from soft to extreme... my husband calls him the "iTunes bird"
