Did you get Bubba to back-up his truck and unload all that for you? And he didn't bring me back even a grapefruit. :-L

I wanna see the plate of goodies you make with that today :YMDAYDREAM:

As I mentioned to Christo, how could I possibly resist ?

They were there in my Pet Shop, I was there in the Pet Shop..... need I say more ;-) ?

Although they are not banded, both have black tips on their beaks, so they are young.

Hey girl.

Bubba, ate your grapefruit ? For shame!
Going to have to put that boy over my knee and give him a good side dish of spanking one of these fine days.

Beautiful fruit, but no blueberries.....
So when I went to the Pet Shop, and saw these two pretty blue babies, I figured they would be a perfect addition to the mix, lol. Plus, I had a gift card, burning a hole in my pocket :P

Lovely addition! You know how I am about waxbills, and Cordon Bleus are among my favorites.

Thanks Sally.

They are pretty, eventhough baby girl, looks like she's been plucked a wee bit. Hopefully with good diet, her feathers will come back faily quick.

From what I've read, a black beak indicates youth, so hopefully we may have some younglings at some point :-).
