This weekend is going to be a big one for my flock.

First, I found a Quaker parrot in desperate need for a home near me. The baby needs a new home because his owner has gotten very sick and his wife doesn't like his birds, so he needs to downsize to only his little birds (canaries). He really needed a home for the baby fast and it just seemed to work really well into my life since I had been looking for a Quaker and he is nearby. So tomorrow morning I go to pick up the little guy. He is just under a year old and apparently was very sweet but just hasn't been held a lot for a little bit, so he might need some taming, but I am up for anything at this point. SO excited.

Then, Friday night, Dakota gets her first teaching performance for Parrot University, a program my local parrot society runs to teach people about birds. We are working with boy scouts and she gets to meet lots of new friends :).

Theeeen, Saturday morning, I take a trip down to South Jersey to pick up 2 baby cockatiels I have been desperately waiting for (I have had them on hold for over a month). So I have 3 new babies coming into the family in 2 days! It's definitely going to be an interesting weekend/week while everyone gets used to their new home, but I am super excited. Pictures will come once everyone is home, just wanted to tell everyone :)

:hehe::hehe:

You know its funny because while I know that I get a little tired with the fids I have, they bring me such happiness it is all worth it. And yea, it will be extra work but I love my babies. And this is going to be IT for a very long time (until I have my own house at least).

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts!

I have two pictures of my little quaker on the ride home. His old name was JayJay, but I am not sure how much of a fan of it I am. I might change it. His tail is completely damaged and he is a little nervous, but otherwise he is beautiful and I think he is going to be extremely sweet once he calms down and settles in.





More pictures to come later.

I have more pictures of the little guy after settling in a bit. You can see his tail feathers are really destroyed, but hopefully they'll grow in again soon. He is definitely nervous but I think he will be great if I work with him :).
