    i handfed orphaned pigeon hatchling. successful!

    Thanks for the advice! This pigeon's mom was squished in a windstorm, he wasn't abandoned. So now Valero is full grown and living with three fantail pigeons. He is the leader of the troup , at the feedbowl, anyway. Sometimes I let the kids play with him and he flies around their playroom...

    DIY Composting

    I mean that we have high humidity but it doesn't actually rain. Imagine living in a sauna. Hot. With lots of wind. All that - fireants, thorns, snakes, scorpions, etc... Wait a minute, why do I live here again?! LOL!
