SEPTEMBER 2004 JOURNAL

Hi Ya All - Boys oh boys is today gonna be a great day.  Jo has been looking to find a baby carrier to tote us big babies around in while she is working and she FOUND one!  She says she's going right after our noon feeding to pick it up.  Now we'll have loads of snuggle and cuddle time with Jo.  Imagine that, we get to watch as she vacuums and does her chores (and don't have to help!).  Oh, by the way, this is Sunny here.  I am the biggest, chubbiest senegal baby and also the oldest.  Jo loves talking about me, as it just drives my new Mom crazy with anticipation of me being weaned TWO whole months down the road before I can go home to her!!  I'm sure Jo will get a phone call after she reads this!  She lives in N.S. but she is coming to visit with me next week.  Probably cause two of those spoiled rotten silver lovebirds are going to live  there as well and she's picking them up next week.  Oh well, they can check out the digs for me.

Little Misty, the red belly we have sharing our brooder with us is doing just super duper.  Jo just loves hearing her cry.  Reminds her of a real baby cry she says.  She is just adorable.   While my Mom and Dad had all their eggs hatch, Chummy and Rosa only had one hatch.  The other three were infertile.  Hey Jo says she is quite, quite happy to settle for one the first time round! 

We can't be sure yet, but Jo told us she was doing the veggie round the other morning at 7:15 or should I say, she was starting to do the veggie round.  She sure back "sneaked" out in one big hurry.  There's Gillian and MacGinnis, 7:15 in the morning, lights are not even on yet, having morning delight!!  And I'm sure Jo does not have to spell that out for you's!  We'll be sure and keep you posted on the events in that household.  They are the two brown head parrots by the way. 

Now as for the lovebirds, they are all just spoiled rotten and will be leaving within the next week or so.  Four of them Jo and Lou are personally driving to Quebec, so they get to stay till almost the end of the month.  So that's leaves the two wee ones she has been feeding since they hatched.  They are doing great.  The red eyed beauty is just a going concern.  She may be small, but Jo says she is some mighty. 

Imagine the look of surprise on Jo's face when she checks Tula's nest box this morning and finds THREE babies, that's right not One, not Two, but THREE babies hatched in ONE NIGHT!!  Now that is a first.  Jo has had two hatch in a day before, but never three.  Oh these two parents are good!  Now we just have to make sure they all get fed.  Tula and Grady are normally excellent parents, so providing the rest of the eggs can hold off hatching for at least a day or so, things should be O.K.  If not, well Jo to the rescue.

As you can see we have some major travelling to do soon for Healthy Bird, but Jo has all bases covered for the feeding of those adults and us babies.  She has her grandson and his parent coming to stay here as well.  Going to be a hectic month, so if you don't hear from her much, have no fear, we'll play catch up next month.  We promise to make her post lots of pictures though.   

Well gotta get, it's lunch time, I'm hungey, besides I want to see this new carrier thingie! 

Sorry folks, no time to chatter today.  We are keeping Jo hopping taking care of us and these shows.  Just thought we'd drop in a post a few minutes.  We'll let you know the full scoop next month
