Mira is now eating on her own. I massaged her crop earlier and got most of the food that was in it through and immediately after, she started searching for food. She's feeling so good today that I thought I would take her out to visit her brothers and sisters. She was so excited that she jumped right out of my hands (was only inches from them) and tried to rejoin them. They all seemed happy to see each other. Now, she's crying in my room because she wants back out with her flock

But she's healing up! No crying, fussing, or head shaking when I cleaned up her head today

Good news! Good work!

Rarely get on here during the day. It's a hot one ! I'm inside taking a break. I miss everyone!

Here is what I'm raising at the moment. The mom died and I put the egg in the incubator for the few days it had left. Started with feedings every half hour. Now only 4 times a day. Thank God they grow fast! Parrotlet.



Here is one that is only a couple weeks older...

Whaaaa? So not a Parakeet? -what will it be like grown? How big? interesting!

I don't even look at my post count anymore... I didn't realize I had twice as many as Liz.

Oh, so loud. And it is relentless. You almost have to gag them before they stop.

I will look them over but won't treat if I don't find anything. I may put some DE and 5% Sevin in the shavings of the cage birds today since they came from elsewhere.
This may sound hard to believe but I've never found a mite or louse on my birds.
After thousands of birds, I've only wormed about 4 birds.

You have to do quarterly testing there? What a hassle. P/T testing in MO is only required to be annually.
Quarterly testing is only required here for MG, MS, etc., and that's only for commercial flocks.

Have fun. I'm jealous- except I don't like camping on holiday weekends. Too many people.
Who takes care of your birds while you're gone?

Oddly, the campground isn't filled. None of us remembered it was a holiday weekend until we had trouble making reservations. Currently, I'm in the middle of where everyone lives. So we will be less than an hour from here. I will come back if I get too antsy, but everyone will be OK inside the double coop. The wall has been removed to allow free access to the entire building. With four drakes gone now, there is plenty of room.

That's great about your birds. We usually go at least 2 hours away so that's harder to get back.
Wife is helping son move some boxes this evening and going out to dinner. I had too much to do and they wouldn't have been back before dusk. I have too many valuable/vulnerable birds not to be here at dusk.
I have to get birds in permanent quarters and auto coop doors done.
The campground will likely be filled by tomorrow.
