Back and forgot to take her jacket and homework. She rushed me out the door and was waiting in the car, so I figured she had her stuff. KIDS!
The eggs were usually swirled. I don't remember spots, just rainbow eggs. They kind of looked like the ones they have Easter egg coloring for. Some might be a one color but also swirled, like a swirly blue egg or purple egg. Some were very pale, but you could still see the swirl and at the beginning of the season they were just awesome looking. I want these birds again so bad and I lost contact with everyone who would have known how to get hold of Alex to be able to get any. He's the only other person that I ever knew who had them. I was so surprised and almost breathless when he said he had something to show me. Then he was really surprised when I told him what they were and where they came from. Man the tumor and strokes really wrecked havac on my memory. South America! I know they were from South America.
I think about those eggs every once in a while and how much I missed them. The inside of the egg was very pale, but same colors as the outside. When I see egg color listing on here I wonder sometimes why no one knows about these birds and their eggs. You'd think someone would know or have them. I don't know which mag I ordered from way back, but it was either Sports Afield or Maybe Sportsman.
I used to buy two magazines a month like those and I ordered anything in the back. Like a Spider Monkey and the little yellow bator, the dome. I bought the dome for less thn 9 bucks and you got a certificate for 3 eggs. LOL The monkey , my mom about had a fit about. Kept him a while, but when he started throwing poop at people when they'd walk or stand by my it was time for him to go. I bought puppies, an Ocelot, some other cat, geez you used to be able to get anything from those. I was saving for a wallaroo. LOL
I grew up a couple of blocks from Berkeley and I was the little girl with all the weird animals. LOL Just thought about it and it had to be the late 60's like when I was in the are of 6th grade, till ealy 70s till I went to high school and had toned down the zoo. I made money with my little zoo. For a quarter I would charge kids to come in my back yard and see all my animals. We had Pekenese and Cocker Spaniels and and we had one that was mixed with both (the reason my mom started raising Cockers like her mother had) and I would take the mix (Sandy) and put a mane around her and put her in this big cage. She was my miniature lion. LOL I'd give her a hand signal to growl and she'd act like my lion, so she was way cool. Had her for 17 years.
